Trouble with alphabetical order in my Photos folder yakmanz <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/24/2008 9:10:56 PM Anyone.... I have a lot of pictures on my computer, all in their perspective folders named for the year they where taken. I have selected all and renamed the pictures every time I add new pictures. Example: Myfamily 2008..... It will then name all my picture Myfamily 2008, Myfamily 2008 (1), Myfamily 2008 (2) and so on....but will then put the first picture (Myfamily 2008) at the end of all my pictures. Is there a way to have the folder to no organize the pictures and leave the way I have them in order???? Thanks -- yakmanz

Myfamily 2008 (1001).jpg Press Enter... If there are more than 1000 pictures...use (10001) -- John Inzer MS-MVP Digital Media Experience Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
