Win XP desktop icons

Despite selecting sorting the icons by name only about 50% of them are.
Does anyone know why or how I can achieve what I want ? (I have
removed the "shortcut to.." to get better sorting but still not OK).

Thanks in advance.
 
From Googling "Sort desktop by name" you'll see at least these two threads
below that indicate the desktop is populated by (3) groups of members which
aren't treated/recognized in "Spelling" as a single, collective Group.
Consequently, early reading appears to say you can't Sort by name as you
wish.

Have never paid attention in my XP but none of my Rt Clk Sort By's are
checked and I just Drag Icons around on the Desktop where I want. Certain
things can jumble them up and make me rearrange but that's how I live with
it.

Maybe someone knows better and will post a solution not inferred by Googling
so far.
