How do I get Code::Blocks to display .h and .cpp files in the same directory?

I am very slowly figuring out Code::Blocks and am trying to set it to my liking.

The gentleman that provided the second answer in this post: Organization of files in Code Blocks seems to be able to get C::B to display his header and source files in a single directory in the project tree. This is what his project tree looks like (and how I want mine to look):

enter image description here

However, in my case, anytime I create a header file, C::B displays it in a new directory called 'Headers' (see image below). I should mention that I am keeping the .cpp and .h files together in the same directory when I am creating the files.

enter image description here

I looked all over environment settings, project properties, C::B documentation, online, tried to ask the poster of the link (but i don't have enough reputation to put comments) and I am stuck. Very stuck.

If you know where the setting in C::B which needs to be changed to display the two file types together (like in the link above), I would really appreciate your help.

The Sources and Headers folders that by default appear to contain respectively the source and header files of a C::B project are virtual folders that represent the "categories" (header, source) of the files within.

To disable this virtual organisation of your project:-

  • Right-click on your project icon in the project workspace
  • From the pop-menu select Project tree
  • In the Project tree sub-menu uncheck the item Categorize by file types
