Windows 10: Disable file grouping in subfolders in the downloads folder in win 11

When I go into the downloads folder I have the classic grouping with yesterday, today, this month, etc. The Problem is, that when I go into a subfolder a folder inside of the downloads folder, I still have the same grouping. In subfolders i want no grouping, just like it is with my windows 10 machine an os made years ago and better than **** 11. Anyway, I want to solve this issue without deleting the contents in my downloads folder.

List all file folders, followed by subfolders and files in them was in Windows 7. Is it possible to get this list in Win 10

List all file folders, followed by subfolders and files in them was in Windows 7. Is it possible to get this list in Win 10 in the same order?

 

How do I disable grouping by file type in the downloads folder

No. I had just downloaded the latest version myself and the NirSoft zip files were saved straight in my downloads folder. I think your result indicates that you have, as Bree suggests, some third-party utility 'helping' you with your downloads and it is that utility that is managing these subfolder creations.

If you cannot remember download management being part of any of your third-party utilities, have a look at Control panel, Programs & features to remind yourself [and post a screenshot of the list if you are really stumped - perhaps Bree or dmholt might spot a name they know.

We posted at the same time. If it does not have an obvious settings item in its menu that you can change then try searching Chrome support & user forums [if they exist] for guidance.

Insert a group of 5 files and one folder into every subfolder

agreed but.
it is what it is and the steps are just finding the right code for walking through the structure of a folder and copying files each time you go down one level.
I can't specify the names of the subfolder because they vary
the Top Level needs to get copies of the 5 files and one subfolder
then I need to drop down to every level two subfolder and copy those same things to it
then to subfolder-level 3 of every case where there is one and copy again
then every case of a subfolder at level 4
etc etc
Thank God I only have to do this to maybe 20 examples to find out if the tests works.
I did a couple by hand but it got tedious Very Quick *Sad
I am not sure of what the statement would be in the script to designate each folder level and as i said, the names are all different.

PS moving the test folder to a different drive is not a problem. The issues i keep hitting is how to designate each folder in a recursive walk of them so i know when to copy the extra files and folders to that folder
