on windows XP, in my computer when i sort by "type" it separates them into types (local drives, cds, network drives etc) and then in each of those categories, it will sort by drive letter. however if i try and do the same in vista, it sorts into categories but then sorts by volume name which i dont want.

how'd i get vista to do what XP does? this is how it seems to sort in XP:

HDD [C:]

CDROM [D:]

NETWORK2 [F:]
NETWORK1: [Z]


but in vista this is how it sorts:
HDD [C:]

CDROM [D:]

NETWORK1 [Z:]
NETWORK2: [F]
 
its set to group by --> type, ascending.

it seems to sort based on if its type is set to "disconnected network drive" or "network drive" --if its network drive, its always at the bottom.
