Hi Shakeel,
I can't give you a definitive answer but I can put you on the road to one
possible solution.
First google and download a program called ResHacker, it's a Resource Editor
and allows you to see and edit data contained within a single file and has a
similar look and feel to Regedit.
Next, BACKUP this file before you open it into ResHacker...
C://Windows/System32/shell32.dll
You then need to use the View > Find Text menu item and search for phrases
like "Arrange icon by name" and if you're convinced you have found a
relevant entry then use the Action > Delete Resource [REF] menu option. I
have NOT tested whether this will work so please remember to back this file
up.
Once you're done and you want to test it, save the file as shell32NEW.dll so
that it doesn't overwrite the original. You then need to reboot into safe
mode (hold F8 during boot) and navigate to the file. Rename the current
shell32.dll to shell32ORIG.dll and rename the new shell32NEW.dll to
shell32.dll
Reboot into your normal desktop and test.
If a disaster occurs and your edits have messed up the desktop menus etc
then just reboot back into safe mode and reverse your previous renames to
restore your original shell32.dll
One more thing you need to be aware of... this file can be updated if there
are any windows updates (not all the time but I noticed it once) and if it
does it will undo your edit because it's a new file. You can't just restore
your edited copy in its place, you have to go into the new version and
repeat all of your original edits.
Hope this helps
Andy
