Win7: sort icons in "desktop" popup/toolbar

1

I've right clicked my task bar and selected Desktop in the Toolbars submenu. This now shows a Desktop >> button left to the tray area. When I click this button, a popup with my desktop icons opens allowing me to access my desktop icons without having to hide my application windows.

How can I configure in what order the desktop icons in the popup are sorted (I want them sorted alphabetically)?

Thanks, I've did not try it because I thought I would sort my desktop icons instead of those in the popup. – Mike L. – 2011-01-21T10:58:17.933

Hm, some icons are sorted correctly, others not - strange. For example "VMWare Player" is sorted before "Opera". Could it be that Windows sorts the all-user-icons and my-icons and then puts both sorted groups in the menu? – Mike L. – 2011-01-21T11:00:52.703
