![]() This is just me, but that seems like a lot of effort for a "dead" OS. For every file you save a second or two because of the more informative Windows XP status bar and because of this, more informative copy-paste initial screen, which Microsoft developers in their wisdom not only took out, but did so in a way that not even Classic Shell can bring back to Windows 8: Windows 8 Explorer status bar does not show file details like Windows XP does, if you have to work with a hundred or a thousand files, rebooting into Windows XP is necessary to work faster.If I am looking for something important on the system for work, I reboot into Windows XP and use Windows XP's Search Engine because Windows 7/8 Search Engine is more difficult to use and is not as reliable as Windows XP Search Engine. ![]() So if you need to group files/folders on the screen for work (for easier sorting) - there is no alternative but to reboot into Windows XP. Registry edits which force Auto-arrange to be turned off cannot be used reliably because they break other Windows 7/8 features. Windows 7/8 has no option to turn Auto-Arrange off.
