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:

Yes, Bruce, it does "snap" them into position, but it allows them to be moved off-screen. You wind up with a scroll bar at the bottom of the page, and files shot WAY out to the right. In Vista, it kept them all within the viewing window.
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!
