Vista file explorer - getting rid of collapsible groups?

[Kadence]

At some point my C: folder started to display in file explorer by collapsible group - Application, File Folder, Text Document, etc. How do I get rid of these groups and go back to the normal view? Under the Views tab, the List view is the only one that isn't organized by group.

Perhaps someone knows something about this 🙂

Click menu/tools/options and restor defaults in all tabs.

If you dont have the menu bar enabled then click ORGANIZE/Folder and Search Options.

Thanks, but surprisingly that didn't fix it. I restored defaults under both Folder Options>General and Folder Options->View, but the C: drive folder (and only the root C: folder, not any subfolders that I know of) still displays by collapsible groups.

Not sure what you mean exactly - can you post a SS?

Sure - I uploaded it here.

Looks like you have Group by Type on. Here's how to change it back:

Go to Organize-->Layout-->Menu Bar. This will show the typical Windows File/Edit/View/Tools/Help menu in your current Explorer window.
Click View-->Group By-->(None)

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot 🙂 That definitely helped.
