Re: Can I disable "Grouping" in Vista's Windows explorer??

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..

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)..

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.

PS: You don't like the grouping feature, for me it's one of the most
beautiful thing added to the OS.
