SYMPTOMS
========
When you choose to arrange icons by type, they are not arranged by their
extensions.
CAUSE
=====
When you choose to arrange icons by type, Windows 95 sorts the icons according
to their registered names. Extensions are not used unless the file type is not
registered. For example, files with .EXE extensions appear before files with
.BMP extensions.
Note that this behavior is not as apparent if you clear the "Hide MS-DOS file
extensions for file types that are registered" check box on the View tab. To see
this tab, click Options on the View menu.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
