Auto-arrange means - "from now on, always sort the items alphabetically". It is different from "Sort by Name" because that would only sort once and then append new items at the end.
It is a per-folder setting because you may want different folders to be arranged differently. |

Can you provide a screenshot? It is important to see where the start menu is, where the taskbar is, where the start button is, etc.
Also note which taskbar is the main one and which is from DF |

It may be an issue with the RTL version of the copy dialog box.
Try switching the language to English from the Classic Explorer settings. You will have to log off for the settings to change.
Then try copying a file again. |

Those settings will be forced on all users and can't be changed. How do you find the names of the values? ... |

Does this happen always, or only sometimes?
I have seen the icons not showing up occasionally, however it also happens for the new UI as well. |

| That's how menus work. If you activate a menu with the mouse, there are no accelerators. If you start using the keyboard, the accelerators appear. Try it in Explorer. If you activate the File menu with the mouse you see Open. If you activate it with Alt+F, you see Open. |

As for Display Fusion, we worked together to ensure our products are compatible with each other. I get a small commission if somebody buys DF through this site. |

As for the design of the forum, I have little control over it. There are other skins out there however I had to do some modifications to this one to make it fit into the rest of the website, and I don't want to be doing that again. |

I don't think that's possible. The system doesn't remember where a program is launched from.
Also, fixed the forum permissions and now you can post to "feature requests". |

Can you compare these 4 methods of logging off?
Log off from the start menu
Log off by pressing Alt+F4 and selecting Sign off
Log off by pressing the user picture in the Metro screen
Log off by running "shutdown /l" from the command line
Let me know of they behave differently. |
