Since the last Windows 7 update a day or two ago, the display of folders in my Documents library has changed. The folders are now displayed in one column with dates showing when each folder was created. This makes scrolling necessary to view all the folders. I'd like to change this back to the way it was, in rows of columns (without dates or any other info) so I can see all the folders at once.
I've tried everything I can think of and I've searched this forum with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, Brink. I ran into trouble because Windows 7 doesn't show the menu bar by default and I couldn't figure out how to click the "view" button when I couldn't find the button. Once I discovered found out how to display the menu bar, the rest was easy!
