  1. Windows 10 file grouping - how to disable if a program uses it?


    Hello,


    I'm having an issue with File Grouping in Windows 10. I've managed to disable it a while ago using the right-click and choosing 'none' option when just using Windows Explorer, but I'm running into a new problem.


    Say you're using a program that requires you to navigate to a file location, but the program's navigation system is somehow letting file grouping get in there and screw things up. How do you turn that off? I don't want to EVER use file grouping, it makes finding files a royal pain. And it's not even showing the files I need which I just downloaded within the last 20 minutes.


    Screenshot included for reference. Can that even be disabled or is the program forcing that view on Windows?! And please, don't say I need to right-click something and choose 'none' because that option is now gone and I can't even select it anymore... I've gone to the folder in question and tried to right-click and choose 'none' again in case it was back on, but 'none' isn't even on the list, probably because I've already chosen it for that folder.


    Thank you!

  2. Recent File List

    that's all off already dude lol, I'm really surprised there is no fix for the recent files list/MRU in the file menu of programs haha

    I appreciate the help, MS really needs to implement a Group Policy or a string that can do that for all programs installed

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
