Re: Windows Scroll Bar keeps jumping to top in folders

Okay, so where do I turn off "auto arrange"? I have not changed any settings
recently, but I notice settings are changed sometimes after I get a Windows
update. I had disabled Indexing a few weeks back as it was slowing my
computer down a lot. As soon as I disabled it, speed was back to normal.
Windows updated in the last few days, Indexing was turned back on after that
update and this scroll bar problem started. Disbling Indexing does not fix
the scrollbar problem.

I have been able in the past to drag things to other folders without the
scroll bar moving except to allow for the things removed. It never jumped to
the top of the folder before. This all went goofy after a recent automatic
update from Windows during the night.

Most of that is normal Windows behavior when the the auto-arrange feature is
on. Anytime you remove files from a folder, Windows will resort the list of
remaining files. If you have a folder with a lot of files/thumbnails (and
your PC/graphic card isn't fast enough), you will probably get a momentary
white-out as the PC redraws the contents.

Yes, the collection of thumbnails in the window returns to the top. This
happens to any change in the folder, whether dragging a thumbnail out or
using cut and paste to movce it. The exact sequence is that once I perform
the removal, the entire folder I took it from goes blank white (like an
empty
window) momentarily, then the thumbnails pop back up and the scroll is at
the
top of the folder. Last night, it momentarily bounced to the bottom of the
folder of thumbnails, then back to the top.

The other open folder of thumbnails I pasted the item into or dragged it
to
does the same thing. Any change to any folder of thumbnails (taking things
out or adding them) causes the same event to occur.

I tried using list viewing mode (not suitable for sorting pics, but gave
it
a try) and immediately after an item was dragged to a folder in a
different
window, the source window flashed blank then jumped back earlier in the
list
but not to the top (not to the first page of the list view). I am using
two
windows about half my monitor width for moving files from one folder to
another.

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.
