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:

There has been a fix available for 2+ years. It's just not provided by the Microsoft developers. Either of these third party fixes will add it back so you can disable it.
