Hopefully, this will not be too difficult! But, I have an issue in a library of my Pictures where the "Today  Earlier this month   Earlier this year   A long time ago"  categories with the files in each showing up in that arrangements. 

I have a screen print showing how this arrangement looks.  I want to just have all of the folders showing without this time period breakdown. 

In the photos folder, however, under the PICTURES folder the listing is the way I want it and I have a screen print of how that looks where there is no time period designations.  I do not know how to obtain the same view in PICTURES that I have in the Photos folder.  If someone can point me to the steps.  I have looked in several places but could not find anything specific to this problem. 

Thank you in advance for your help.  This is for Windows 7.

Pete!

Using Windows 10 (7 may differ in detail)...

Click on "View"
Click on "Group By"
Scroll down and click on "(None)"

EDIT
By right clicking an empty area, I was also able to find "Group by" choices.

Hi Pete,

Yes, it worked! 

After I clicked on the group by and clicked on none then the "Today  Earlier this month   Earlier this year   A long time ago"  categories with the files in each showing up in that arrangement disappeared.  After that when I clicked on the View and Group by the "none" option was gone, so apparently it disappears after you choose it.  But, regardless this answered my question!  Thank you so much!
