Changing Screen Resolution

Recommended Posts

PARAGRAPH 1: No, it's not that I can't change it. It's what happens after which annoys me. Everything goes fine, and then I got to My Documents and everything is out of order! not deleted, just out of order. But the order which my documents are in are very important to me (I number the files in my USB so it doesn't get out of order when it suddenly decides to arrange by name).

PARAGRAPH 2: I want to increase my screen resolution because i've just noticed i'm using the screen resolution of 4:3 when my sceen is 16:9 so i'm missing out on things, e.g. some backgroud on youtube channels =[.

PARAGRAPH 3: But if I do change screen resolution, my documents get arranged by name, and I dont like that. Fortunatley, when I swtich back to my old resolution, my old file order is restore.

PARAGRAPH 4: So that got me thinking that there may be a file mapping which order other files are arranged by, like a profile for the resolution setting, and I could copy that file for my old resolution and replace the file for my new resolution, I hope I am making sense...

PARAGRAPH 5: Please tell me if this is possible, I don't want to write down how my files are ordered, and then order my files, it would take a long time, i've done that once with my USB before I numbered it. It took a LONG time, and I have even more files in my computer, so it would take an even LONGER time.. =(.

And I don't want to number all my files too, and then un-number them...

==================================

========= Skip To Here If Your Lazy =========

==================================

PARAGRAPH 6: Please tell me if doing the thing in Paragraph 4 is possible, I even numbered the paragraphs incase of lazy people who know the answer. Background info in other Paragraphs. If anything is needed to be explained more in detail, please just ask.

Could you post a screenshot of what you are referring to?Just to keep from getting anything confused with another.:blink:
