This is the same as choosing "Use Classic Windows Folders" which I
have done, ad nauseum, to no avail. I don't use the Folder Tasks, but,
the folders with media files are sorted and arranged by criteria that
I don't want. If I customize the folder settings, to use the all
documents..., then "in order to see my changes, I have to enable
folder tasks and the same crap starts all over again - for me, it is
like the movie, "Ground Hog Day!"

I was hoping there was a registry tweak (like murdering the SEARCH
ASSISTANT that would allow me to TRULY revert to Classic Windows file
management as in W2K...

Thanks for the suggestion, but, I have been there and done that. :-)
