Hi Kostbo,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers!
As this is by design of the Windows 7 Operating system, we cannot disable the Auto arrange.
The change in Windows 7 is by design however, if this is something you would like this feature reinstated, please submit your suggestion to:

#1:
I can't believe Microsoft has known about this 'flaw by design' for almost 2 years and still has done nothing to correct it! How many people will have to ask to have this 'manual arrangement/organization feature reinstated and submit the suggestion’ before something is done?
#2:
Another flaw is when a picture is edited, more than likely, Microsoft will decide that your photo should be 'hidden'! and good luck trying to find that picture!! Why do they think anyone would want a picture 'hidden'?
#1: I couldn't agree more, but so far it looks like another "Microsoft knows what we want better than we do".
#2: Are you speaking of a result of rotating a picture? Do you have any McAfee security programs installed? If yes, that one is on McAfee, not MS.
Windows 7 Library folders are not being displayedhttp://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS101228
Just another reason not to use any McAfee or Norton crapware, IMHO.

Why do they think anyone would want a picture 'hidden'? Windows7 was supposed to be 'better', an upgrade. But it is just frustrating - it has many flaws which Microsoft apparently does not intend to fix. Many people had to pay big dollars for Windows7. I certainly will not buy their next upgrade - it might be worse. XP was an outstanding program. I'm going to try to 'upgrade' back to my XP!!

Why not use the fix until MS gets off their butt and does something about it? If they ever do.
