    Can't ungroup Public documents


    So I can't ungroup public documents, and I don't want them to be public, any suggestions?


    Thanks in advance.

    Sure you can: right click in the white part of the explorer window and choose Group by then select None. You can't ungroup if the files/folders are selected.
    As to them being public or not: move anything you don't want public from the Public folder (that will be under Users\Public)
