Can I get rid of the Windows 7 libraries folder dropdowns?

Can I get rid of the Windows 7 libraries folder dropdowns? The default libraries in Windows 7 work such that all subfolders of locations you include appear side by side. I really like that cruft-free look and I don't need any of the information about which included folder the subfolder came from.

"You need to change the grouping method for the library.

Right-click on a blank area to the right of some files, select ""Group By"", and then select (None).

If you want to go back to the way the library was arranged before, click the ""Arrange by:"" button in the top-right of the screen and choose ""Clear changes""."

"In the top right, there is ""Arrange by:""

If you change it from folder to name, for instance, the problem is solved (well mostly, I don't think there is a way of ordering them by folder without the dropdown lists. Some of the other options have the dropdowns too, like date (""Last week"", and ""A long time ago"" instead of folder names though.))"
