Hi,
I was referred to this thread by a link on the Microsoft help community, and am still having problems. Several months ago, my downloads folder got grouped by date. I set the group by option to none, which fixed it in the main explorer, but I'm still getting files grouped by date in just the downloads folder in the open dialog boxes within applications, even after running your registry fix. How do I fix this?

Hello Bob, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Are you able to manually set Group by to (None) in the still affected open dialog boxes?

These will usually open the same way as last closed.

How do I do that? When I try to access the menu bar in those applications, all I get is the system menu.

You should be able to like in option 3 below.

I don't seem to have a More Options button, unless I don't know how to access it. Tabbing through, I have the file name edit box, files of type, the open and cancel buttons, the folder list, the look in combo box, and buttons that say "go to last folder visited" and "quick access." Using down arrow from Go to Last Folder Visited, I have Go to last folder, Up one level, create new folder, and a view menu, which contains various icon sizes, and an auto arrange, align, and list view.

Go ahead and post a screenshot to see if anything may stand out.
