Re: Windows Scroll Bar keeps jumping to top in folders


I'm not really following, are you saying the file list (or thumbnails) returns to first items in the window the second you drag something out of the windows?

Does this also happen if you use the copy (or cut) command rather than dragging?

I am running Windows XP on my media center PC. I have a great number of new
photos to sort, that get sorted into a number of subfolders. I have two
folder windows open. One has new pictures The other the folder i want to drag
certian pictures into. I had this problem in the past, now it has gotten much
worse. In the folder of new pictures, I scroll down to find all the (let's
say for instance) pictures of flowers and want to drag them one by one as i
find them over to the "Flowers" Folder I have open in a separte window. I
have scrolled down, grab the picture i wnat nad drag it over to the Flowers
folder. Both folders insrtantly scroll back to the top.

I was scrolled down within the folder of the new pics trying to locate each
of the flower pictures, but once i drag one from the folder, the scroll bar
jumps to the top and I lose my place. I have to scroll down each time to find
where I was if I want to continue.

I used to have this problem intermittently in folders that had many hundreds
of pictures in them, but the scroll bar would not return to the top. After
dragging an item from one folder to another, the one it came from would jump
to somewhere randomly in the middle or bottom of the scroll bar.

Now, in both the folder I am taking items from and the one receiving it, the
scrollbars are BOTH jumping to the top of their respective windows.

The situation has made the sorting I need to do next to impossible.
