    Something at the top of windows explorer


    There's a space in Windows Explorer at the top of the My Documents library, that highlights all the folders when I hover over it. It just appeared there, and I don't know why.

    I've included two screenshots below. The My Documents shot illustrates the trouble, and the My Pictures shot illustrates the how I would like the My Documents library folder to be.

    Help!

    Right click anywhere in the folder to open the context menu, hover over Group by then select (None).

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    Good one Boozad
    I only had My Pictures showing that and couldn't remember how I got rid of it in the other 3 sections

    I use that often, it's a great feature for splitting certain folders into sections by file type. My BSOD folder would be a mess without it!
