Can I disable "Grouping" in Vista's Windows explorer??
I would like to completely disable the "Group By" and file grouping in
Windows Explorer in Vista. I detest this ill-conceived "feature" . I' ve seen articles on how to "reset" the views so they stick and they're only temporary solutions as Vista eventually start grouping again.. I'm **S I C K** of this so-called feature and it does nothing but hamper my work efficiency and lower my productivity.. No I don't want to learn how to use it. I want it turned O F F and to N E V E R return. Give me the option to turn this idiot-inspired feature off please! I'm SICK of turning it off. God I hate Vista! ...aka Windows ME (squared).. Bryan |

Can I disable "Grouping" in Vista's Windows explorer??
Grouping was created for people who aren't organized. For those of us who are
organized this makes it harder to find files and slows us down. For every one of you who claim it to be the most useful feature there are 10 like myself hate it. I can scan a list of files for what I want faster than I can sort though which friggin group it's in.. For those of you who ask why I destest it - Obviously you didn't read my post where I state clearly that it hampers my efficency and lowers my productivity. I can find the file I need MUCH quicker in an list of details than with this grouped view with all those headers and excessive white space. Grouping breaks up the list and in folders with few files in it there tends to be more text for groups and white space displayed than is used for the files themselves.. The main problem with it is that it won't stay turned off.. Linux may not be the solution indeed but Apple could very well be and this ill-conceived feature that's been imposed upon everyone with an off switch that was made in China or India is on the top of a list of 18 reasons I've complied (to date) to scrap the windows platform and switch to a Mac. Like I said.. Vista is ME - Marketing Edition (squared).. This is the O/S that Microsoft Marketing always wanted.. It's not my imagination that millions worldwide are avoiding it due to it's repuation for poor performance, unpredictable behavior, lower productivity, annoying features/functionality, and contains nothing compelling enough to invest the very significant resources into switching. It's a stop-gap product that's as big of a mistake as the original ME. Vista lowers productivity, and does not increase it as the massive marketing machine likes to claim. There are good reasons that people are avoiding it and this is one of them. "Gordon" wrote: "Bryan" wrote in message ...

Many people find it a considerable enhancement from previous versions.... As is said, facts are facts. One fact is that you know nothing at all about my organization or lack of it, and your opening statement is the beginning of a long rambling rationalization. Unlike facts, rationalizations are whatever you want them to be. You also make the mistake of moving from your experience which is what it is to a generalization that speaks for all users which you then disparage. It's broken logic. Have a good day. |

BryanRelax, take a few deep breaths. Once done follow this: Right click in a folder. Group By - None. Press Alt. Choose Tools from the bar that appears below the navigation bar. So it's Tools - Folder Options - View - Apply to all folders. Should do the trick.

I really missed it when I did a third of a year stint with Ubuntu and Nautilus. Glad to be back with Vista. I tend to group by file type most often, but various other groupings are very helpful. Have a grand day. |

I've done that a billion times.. It doesn't stick. This is a widespread
problem that's been reported enough to warrant some serious attention to fixing it.. Yet it remains broken..

Can I disable "Grouping" in Vista's Windows explorer??
For those of you who love this feature, please don't pollute my thread with
proclamations of love for this feature. I'm looking for a serious solution to permanently turning it off, other than the "Apply to all folders" that doesn't work. If you don't have a solution please refrain from responding.. Thanks! "Bryan" wrote: I would like to completely disable the "Group By" and file grouping in Windows Explorer in Vista.
