I have a question about Set 
Defaults in Explorer:


Windows will display files as sorted by name, filetype or date, in ascending or descending 
order.  That is the sum total of sorting options.  Why is there no option to order 
them unsorted?  This means the order in which they were written to the disk.

This may seem trivial, but there have been many occasions when it was important for 
the files to be presented in this fashion, for example when you want to burn them 
to an optical disk and it's important to control the order they are played.

I have tried everything I can think of to tell Windows not to do any sorting at all, 
but to no avail.  When I absolutely must have it this way, I have to resort to the 
command prompt and do things the "DOS" way, which gives me exactly what I want.

This seems like such a simple thing, is there something I've overlooked?

Things look pretty bleak for the future; I was playing with Vista yesterday and couldn't 
even change the resolution and color depth of the display.  Computing for monkeys.
