Manual Arrangement of Icons in Folders
Hi to everyone !
Is there any information that Microsoft will ever bring back the option to disable the "auto arrange" / "align to grid" feature to folders? I still do not understand why they have it built in for the desktop but not individual folders!
Is there any new information on a work around , registry hack that could allow it ?
Thank you in advance for any insight!

Some advanced users have attempted registry modifications or system tweaks to influence folder view settings. However, Microsoft hasn't provided an official registry setting specifically for disabling "Auto Arrange" or "Align to Grid" per folder. Most registry adjustments focus on default icon spacing or view options, not on toggling auto-arrange behavior selectively.
