      Hi,
      When I open the file explorer from Notepad++, I don’t want to have grouped files (day, month, etc.).
      Notepad++ only does this in the Windows downloads folder.

      Can I change this behavior?

      System:
      Editie Windows 11 Home
      Versie 25H2
      Build van besturingssysteem 26200.8037

        When you open the file explorer from Notepad++, you are being directed into a Windows application, the Explorer. And, as such, it follows the Explorer settings for how any individual directory should look. It is exactly identical to you using Windows’ Win+R key and launching explorer "%UserProfile%\Downloads"

        As such, you would change the Explorer settings for the Download directory the same way you would from any explorer window (Explorer’s Sort > Group By > (None)) – but this isn’t Notepad++ advice, this is general Windows advice; as such, a Notepad++ forum isn’t the best place for further discovering Windows Explorer features.
