Vista - Windows Explorer Folder View settings

Shawn that worked great!!

Now if there a way to disable the folder/file auto group function?

If you create a folder, then add a file, for instance .html file, then set the group, to what ever you want, then add another file, let's say a .txt file, then the group changes it to something else and does not keep my previous options.

It seems that the folder/file group function sets the 'group' to what ever it wants "everytime" I add a file to a folder. The files can be the same extension or different, it does not matter. The group function will change it "everytime".

Is there a way to stop this?

Quoted From:
http://www.vistax64.com/vista-general/86771-folder-file-group-option.html

When I create a folder then add a file to the folder, the group function
creates its own 'group setting', ie, group by name.

I then change the grouping to what I want, which is group by none. Then I
add another file and the group function changes the "group setting" again, to
say group by type.

The file extensions can be the same or different. It does not matter, the
group function changes "everytime" I add a file. Sometimes it sets the same
group setting, ie. group by name, sometimes it is different, ie. group by
type.

Is there some way to disable this or make it QUIT changing my settings not
matter what I put in the folder? Usually I have mixed file extensions, so I
can understand why it is changing it, but I want it quit doing it.

I have even put ALL the files I need into the folder, then changed the
'group by' to what I want. BUT when I edit a file and save it, the 'group by'
function changes again.


Thanks in advance,

PS: I have admin rights and I have the 'save folder setting' turned on.

Richard,

I just saw you other post. If you did all of Method Two above to completely reset everthing, then take a look at the How to Change the Column Sort Order section at the bottom of this link to make sure I am on the same page with you. Vista should remember the way it was when you closed the Window last. Just let me know any differences you are seeing.
