I would like to be able to have the 'All Programs' listing be sorted with files first and folders last. I have tried several options in the Setting but failed to achieve my goal. Any suggestions?
You can sort the All Programs list manually by right clicking on any item in All Programs and selecting "Sort By Name".
If you right click any item in All Programs and select "Auto Arrange" it will automatically always sort the list by name. This should achieve what you want.
