My Documents Folders have a mind of their own!!!

[Jelvis]

I have a simple question..why do you my folders in 'my documents' move around automatically?
I've arranged them just how I want then when i access them from somewhere else or sometimes I think even when I dont access them, they just move to a different place in my documents.
Does anyone know how to sort this problem?
Thanks

Are they just arranging themselves alphabetically?

In Explorer click on the column-headers: Name for A-Z, Name again for Z-A, Date old-new, Date again for new-old, etc.

Click on the title above the column (e.g. Name) to sort the files by Name, A first, Z last, click on Name again and the opposite sort takes place, Z first, A last.
etc.

I don't really understand your concern

What do you mean by move around automatically?? You mean they are the same folders but just sorted differently?? Or you mean the hyarchie of your folders changed??

Sorry everyone for why I didnt reply sooner.
What I mean is when i click on my documents, I expect to see folders in places where I personally put them. I have a folder called 'downloads' and thats one of the main ones that moves around to a different place in my documents because I use this file a lot. The folder is still there and works fine, its just its not where I put it so I have to look for it every time.
I just cant see what can be causing this since the only option I have on is align to grid in the view menu.

Open the my documents folder, and click on view, and select arrange icons by.
Select modified. Now whatever way you arrange them, they should stay where you put them.
