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:

I HAVE INSTALLED SP1 TODAY!
THEY HAVE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT FIXED THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHAME ON YOU, WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT PROVES THAT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS
The problem with going back to XP is that it is quickly becoming obsolete due to huge memory requirements of newer applications such as Adobe Lightroom 3 --which btw, has a "user order" setting for its folder contents.
Well Service Pack 1 Release Candidate is out and I don't see this blocking problem fixed in it. Working with files is impossible without auto sort and auto arrange turned off. I have formatted and gone back to Windows XP SP3. No problem with that OS.
Microsoft can't take any action or notice but I definitely can.
