    Using Windows Vista Home Premium.
    When I look at the contents of folders, the contents are sometimes
    listed as a single list. Sometimes the list is divided into
    sections: A-H, I-P, Q-Z.

    How do I make it not do that?
    Thanks, CB

    Hello C & B Bredt,

    You can do so by clicking on "Views" (on toolbar) and "Group by", then
    select "none". It sounds like you currently have it set to Group by
    Name.



    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Perfect!!
    Don't know why it suddenly started doing that to a folder
    that I often use, but now I know how to fix it.

    Many thanks, CB

    Vista is pretty famous for not keeping its folder views consistent, so
    your fix might evaporate any day now :)

    There are work-arounds - or solutions even - that have been listed on
    this NG, but I'm not bothered enough to remember them. Maybe someone
    will post something or maybe Google can help if you can think of a
    suitable query, such as "Vista Folder Displays" or something...
