Osama Javaid asks:
In Windows XP, when arrange icons is not set to auto-arrange, we can put icons in any row and column in the window of that particular drive. But in Windows 7, this feature is only limited to the desktop. I was in a habit to put different folders in separate rows and columns in Windows XP , now I switched to Windows 7 and I am missing that feature.
This question has been resolved. You may still add an answer if you think you can add something to the discussion though.

It includes registry editing, so be careful.
Hello, have a look at the following link. There are two ways of accomplishing this. If you use the reg file make sure to back up registry first. Also as usual make sure to backup your system and create a system restore just in case:

you can try other explorers and leave windows as it is without modifying registry
