Hi guys! In past versions of windows, if I set a folder view alphabetically,
it broke the files down by individual letters of the alphabet. I have done
this in Windows 7, but instead, it's listing them in an A-H, I-P and Q-Z
format. But what I really need is a breakdown by individual letters. Is this
possible in Windows 7? I checked my copy of "Windows 7 Inside Out" but no
joy there.

Thanks in advance!

Carmen

Hi, Carmen.

In Windows Explorer, click View, then on the drop-down menu, click Group
by..

In the 20 or so that years I've been using Windows - since version 1.0 - I
don't recall ever having seen files grouped into all A's, all B's, etc.
Were you perhaps using a third-party add-on?

Did I forget something? (Quite possible. <g> )

Hey RC... thanks. No I wasn't using a utility that I know of... but since
you bring it up, I'll go check out my husband's computer (he still has XP)
just to see...

hey, I checked the husband's computer (WIN XP) and it does breaks it down by
individual letter, but Windows 7 breaks it down by letter grouping.

So any ideas as to whether I can change this?
