Windows 10: File based dialogs are grouped

I finally was able to get rid of Groups in File Explorer but they persist in File Dialog boxes. How do I get rid of this in the dialogs? I have to spend extra time looking for the folder I want.

File mover program other than File Explorer

Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• • 
    Which is the current build installed on the computer?
    
  • 
    Are you the administrator of the account?
    
  • 
    Is the computer connected to a domain?
    
  • 
    Is the issue specific to a particular file type?
    
  • 
    Did you make any changes to the permission settings recently?
    

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if you are able to take the full control of the folder or files.

• Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
• Click the Security tab.
• Under Group or user
  names, click your name to see the permissions you have.
• The permissions for the selected user or group are shown in the lower portion of the properties dialog box.
• Assign yourself “Full control” permission by checking the box for “Allow” for Full Control and check if you can access the drive.

If the issue still persists, follow the below steps.

1. Type UAC or User Account Access on the search bar.

2. From UAC window, I suggest you to bring down the level to default and check if it helps.

Hope the information helps in resolving the issue related to the folder permissions. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

These may be the below possible reasons of you facing the issue. Please go through the points.

• If a Home group already exists on your network, you'll be asked to join it instead of creating a new one.
• If your PC belongs to a domain, you can join a home group but you can't create one. You can get to libraries and devices on other home group PCs, but you can't share your own libraries and devices with the home group.
