  1. Permanent Group By/Sort By change?


    I'd like to know how to permanently change Group By to automatically be set to "(none)" . Changing it from the context menu or ribbon menu doesnt permanently change the setting and every time I open a folder from an external application like for example Chrome "show in folder" or having to navigate to a file's location for a particular program, the folders always revert back to Group By setting.

    Permanent Group By/Sort By change?

    When I change to none, I then click on View tab, Options, Change folder and search options.
    In the Folder Options window, click on the View tab then Apply and Apply to all folders.

    Works for me most of the time though every now and then I end up with Group by taking over a File Explorer window.

    One of Microsoft's stupider design changes (one of many actually).

    If you'd like to bug MS to change this, upvote the Feedback I just submitted: File Explorer Group by extreamly annoying

    Permanently sorting documents in folders and grouping items in folders

    Good Morning,

    My OS system is Window 10. In my folders, I have word docs, pdf.docs and photos etc. Every time I open a folder, the various documents are not in order by type i.e. pdf doc. Therefore, I go to sort and group by type. The next time I open the same
    folder or a similar one, none of the docs are group or sorted by type. How do I make the documents in each folder be permanently organized or group by type?
