    Custom grouping in Explorer folders


    Hello Community,I'm looking for a way under Windows 10 to group icons by themes such as Work, Games, Raspberry Pi, etc. I tried "iTop Easy Desktop" which unfortunately only works on the desktop. After that I tried the following tutorial, which unfortunately didn't work for me because I have no idea about .reg: https://superuser.com/questions/989868/how-to-make-a-custom-collection-or-grouping-folders-in-windows Is there any easy way to group elements in a user-defined way? Or is it really that difficult?Thanks in advanceFerry

    :)

    How to Change the Group by View of a Folder in Windows 10 tutorial

    The delay to reply was unrelated to this topic. I was preparing to add a disc drive. The preferred view is working now, and here is the step by step list of what I did, and it includes an additional step at the end. I also rebooted after each step.

    1. Reset all views to default.
    2. Rebooted.
    3. Changed the "My Pc" view to Details and set the "Group By" to [None]. But left everything else at default.
    4. Rebooted.
    5. "My Pc" view retained the selected setting, alphabetically ordered "Details" without grouping.
    6. Switched to Drive C:\, set it to "Details" and changed the column order to "Name, Size Type and Date". Grouping is available but not applied by the default settings.
    7. Rebooted.
    8. "My Pc" lost the settings, reverted to "Tile" and "Group by" was active again.
    9. Reconfigured to "Details" and set the "Group By" to [None].
    10. Rebooted.
    11. "My Pc" view retained the selected settings. Alphabetically ordered "Details" without grouping.

  4. Custom grouping in Explorer folders

    Windows 10 Quick Access: Folder & File Grouping (QA grouped by type, folder or file) ceased working

    Actually, apologies, I spoke too soon, I rebooted (still had same issue which emerged after a Win10 crash this AM for unknown reason) then executed your suggestion (which to be clear for others was the following steps):

    • Opened "File Explorer"
    • Went to View
    • Selected Options from toolbar
    • Selected Change Folder and Search Options - this opened Folder Options box
    • Selected View for View tab
    • in Folder Views box clicked on Reset Folder
    And voila, worked. Earlier try not sure why it did not work but after reboot (and with continued Quick Access issue) this worked.
