I've done that a billion times.. It doesn't stick. This is a widespread
problem that's been reported enough to warrant some serious attention to
fixing it.. Yet it remains broken..

Hello, I also hate this feature in Vista. I think you need to do the "Apply all folders" and also do the "Disable Automatic Folder Type Discovery for Templates in Vista".
I am not sure this will result since I am testing it right now, but so far I haven't seen the "Group by" feature again in my computer.

The prolem is Vista turns it on at random. I also never wan't to use this
feature, but an off switch is nowhere to be found, or doesn't work.

I, too, hate grouping and seem unable to kill it. I think Microsoft Update
may be trashing my laborious saving of my preferred template to each of the
so called types of explorer windows (document, pictures, etc.) Like Bryan, I
use my computer to work, not play: not edit video, not create multimedia
experiences, but WORK. I wish Vista would just let me work. If you do find a
permanent across the board way to kill grouping, please share it here.

I know of no way to stabilize Vista Folder Properties, or those of any other
version of Windows since 3.11. But you can delete the "type" column in the
windows you are concerned with, and then it will no longer group on type.
Good luck.
You could make this the default for all folders, but I can't promise it will
stick.
