   Easily reproduced, sometimes by accident if you save in many different   
   folders frequently.  The culprit is explorer, not notepad.   
      
   Here's how you fix it.   
      
   Next time you use notepad (Or some other prog), when you save or save as,   
   and it's "grouping", right-click any open space (May take several tries   
   for the right spot), Group by, (none), it clears and looks normal again.   
      
   Disable that stupid POS Copilot.
