Stop "Show in groups" as default?

[t. wise]

I've just upgraded to Office 2003. I have a lot of .pst files, and in each
..pst file are a lot of folders. Every time I open a folder for the first
time, it opens in the "Show in groups" format, so I have to go to View,
Arrange By, and un-check "Show in groups". Since I have many many more
folders to go through, and since it's getting annoying having to keep
turning off
this feature, is there some way I can tell Outlook not to Show in Groups
anymore?

BTW, I know that once I de-select this feature for a folder, it stays
de-selected
for THAT folder. But I'm trying to de-select it from all the folders I have
yet to open. Any way to do this?

I am in the same boat. I do not want the "show in
groups" feature. It just takes up too much room. I
would also like to turn it off globally for all folders.

I agree this was a terrible change. Here's the only thing I've
found to address it:
