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:

It DOES allow you to move files around, but it lets them go all "willy nilly".
Have you tried View | Align To Grid?
Don't shoot the messenger!
OK, waltdisneypixar, I need you to go to the cabinet, get your medication, and get back on your pills. If you don't, we will have to notify your psychologist, and he'll put you back into the little room with the matresses on the wall..........
Besides which, we shouldn't HAVE to go to third party solutions! They charge over $300.00 for this OS and they should be fixing it's problems!
I couldn't agree with you more. I have used this a number of times and no one from MS that might care is going to see these threads.
