Sorting graphics files in Windows Vista

I figured that I might as well put together a quick picture tutorial on how to sort and locate graphics files using Windows Vista. If you use a different os, it will probably follow a similar method. First, right click on the sorting bar at the top of the folder:

Choose 'More' from the drop down window:

Look for 'Dimensions':

Right click on the folder's background and choose: Group By>Dimensions:

Right click on the folder's background once again and choose: View>Collapse All Groups:

It should now look like this:

Click on the arrow to open a group. Sprite and level graphics are generally stored in 256 x 256, and sometimes character portraits. Item pictures are usually in 128 x 128. 640 X 480 is always background graphics. Note that different games will use different sizing methods, the latter games have a tendency to be a little larger.
