  1. Save As - how to stop File Explorer from the dreaded GROUPING?


    Hello folks,I have managed to set File Explorer to stop the horrible file and folder grouping, but for some reason, this does not apply to Save, Save As, Open versions of File Explorer. I have manually changed the grouping to NONE on many occasions, but it never sticks, and I want this to globally be removed from sight forever, not something I have to keep removing.Is there a way to do this, and can this PLEASE be made into a global option to not group anything?Thanks,Mark.

    :)
