  1. Grouping and Organizing Folders in Widows 10


    So a while ago I found out that you could group files, folders, and what not in your folder by type. I was wondering could you somehow mark that certain files are different so they aren't organized with all the other folders? I am not sure about this but as a person who buys a lot of art I would like to make my files easier to access and I am not sure how. Maybe I can make a group that I can put files in so I don't have thousands of folders to go through when I add new art?

    :)

    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.

  3. Windows 10 - organizing Picture Folder

    In WIndows 7 I was able to sort all my pictures by month/year. In Windows 10 they are in separate folders by day. I prefer the month/year b/c I can easily scan through all my pictures rather than open up each individual folder by day. I've tried using
    the "sort by" and "group by" options but it only organizes that way within each individual folder.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you,

    Folder organization

    Hello.

    I have recently bought a computer with Windows 10, after many years of Win 7. I was very satisfied with 7.

    Since installing, I am trying desperately to understand what Microsoft thinking is regarding file/folder organization. Although I'm fairly computer literate, I can't get my head around the defaults regarding OneDrive, C:, This PC, and users. For us, a very
    simple environment - my wife and I on single computer - no network. We want to share all folders/files on (what used to be CGrouping and Organizing Folders in Widows 10 :).

    Can anyone suggest a reference that explains and suggests optimal organization of folders? I just don't get it. And Microsoft seems to be negligent in making this user environment friendly!

    Thanks.
