This simple procedure will reset the directory listings to your preference.
- Open Windows Explorer and then click the C: drive in the left pane.
- Next click 'View' on the Toolbar and then click 'Details' in the menu.
- Now In the right pane, click the 'Name' tab at the top of the name listings.
This will arrange the list by 'Name'. Try this several times to be sure the order
listing reverses.
- When you have the order list set A-Z, hold the 'CTRL' key and click the 'X' in
the upper right corner of Explorer to close it. Now release the 'CTRL' key and reboot
your system. Be very sure to hold the 'CTRL' key down until explorer has closed!
Regarding "locking up, running out of resources", would require information
as to when it happens. If you can give us some details, perhaps someone will have
suggestions?
