Why when I select pictures 1 to 10, does Paint.NET order themcapriciously?

That's a good point that we should look to see the DOS order. http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=4441161testofdos.jpg C:\tmp\faststonedir Volume in drive C has no label.

And Paul mentioned Windows Defender, which I think is running on my system (but no AV is running). I got something for you to try: 1) Start a trace running on Sysinternals Process Monitor. (I was using this on a lark, hoping to see stupid stuff being done out of order.) 2) For some reason, copies of notepad are opening my set of four test files in alphabetical order (in terms of windows opening on the screen). Whereas when Process Monitor wasn't running, my four windows were opening in random order. For some reason, things are "a bit serialized". I won't believe this is happening, unless someone else reproduces it! 1) Create four text files: able.txt baker.txt cat.txt dog.txt 2) Highlight all four in File Explorer. 3) Select Edit from the right-click menu, which causes four copies of Notepad to open. 4) When Process Monitor is running a trace, the windows stack on the screen in the proper order.
