What on earth are you talking about again ?

If you have 2 files that are the same with same name, whatever you place in drop box it will replace but will ask for a confirmation.
What you need to do is make a clone of your file "copy" & "paste".
Rename that copied file to something else and love it to drop box.

As far as I know windows 7 does not allow you to view file icons without file names.
If that were so, your whole system would be cluttered with crap and you won't know which file to get because windowz can not index it properly on the hdd.

Go back to your folder choose view by small icons.
Next right click and choose sort by name alphabetically.
Once you do that it should do it how xp would or somewhat close to what your seeking.

If you have music, pictures you may want to look into the more advanced ways of seing things.
I prefer to have mine stack up by details and sort by name.
If I need to know whats inside of a specific file it will preview it and give a small description of what it is.
It will r shadow of a image if the right programs are installed to enable overlay view letting you see whats viewable like a picture.

If you want the same Windows XP GUI, you cannot just select an option in Windows 7 for it. If you're serious about changing it and willing to put in a bit of work though, this link should point you to some tutorials on how to restore the complete Windows XP look, including the narrower, labeled taskbar.

Oh I see what he was getting now, one good way for him to start off is by using stardock windows blinds.
He will have to purchase it for 29.99 but its all good, if he combines that with the link you provided he'll be living xp again.

Don't get me wrong here, I like xp and all but some of things it did with setup and design layouts never really flied too well with me. :/
