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:

Agree, hey microsoft???
Hello to everyone in this site. I hope you all sent in your complaint to the website that was indicated in the first couple of replies. I sure did. I really gave them a piece of my mind. I even asked them, if they had someone available to come to my home to rearrange my pictures. Of course, I got no reply.
Maybe if everyone sends in their complaints, then Microsoft will think about re-instating Drop and Drag.

I SO AGREE!!!!!!!! This makes me absolutely, without doubt, vote Windows 7 to the trash can .... In my small business I rely heavily on taking photos of things that I do, and then sharing them with others, either on my blog, or via email, or on my website. Most often I will take 5 times as many shots as I need - the photos load onto my computer in order. However, I might only want to email 3,5,8 and 9. With prior versions of Windows I could drag and drop the photos I was interested in, right next to each other, then send in one step. Now I have to either waste my time copying these files into a new folder, so that I can then do a send, or worse, I have to send them one by one.
What a joke. And whats worse, it is February already, an dfolks have been complaining about this since late Fall of last year - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR MICROSOFT???
Yup, what a joke. WHY DIDN'T I BUY THE MAC??????? Microsoft, you keep NOT listening to THOSE that buy your stuff, then you WILL see all of us switching out to Macs....
