If you are talking about Name, Modified, Type, Size etc., just left click on the icon and drag it right or left to change the order. &nbsp;That works on my Windows 7 machine. <br />

Nope. &nbsp;For example, my navigation pane looks like this in explorer:<br />
Favorites<br />
Libraries<br />
Computer<br />
Network<br />
<br />
Can it be switched around to display:<br />
Favorites<br />
Computer<br />
Network<br />
Libraries
</div>

@AxISQS - Thank you. &nbsp;May I recommend to you xPlorer2 by zabkat.com. I use this all the time in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.<br />
<br />
xPlorer2 is geared to file exploring, and although it puts libraries up to, it opens (right hand side) to Computer. This is more effective to me. <br />
<br />
The many settings in xPlorer2 can be saved in the settings file and maintained until changed again. <br />

With Windows 7, is it possible to change the order of items on the navigation pane in the Explorer view? &nbsp;I've seen many articles about enabling / disabling what appears there through regedit, but not really anything about changing their order. &nbsp;thanks.
