    Tweaking WIN10 (2019) File Explorer's file size: filter thresholds. (how can we do this?)

    In Windows File Explorer you can type size: into the search box, and it will offer 7 predefined size-ranges empty/tiny/small/medium/large/huge/gigantic

    For the longest time "gigantic" was set as >128mb
    This was useful, you could quickly find all movie files in a folder tree.

    Recently (some 2018/2019 update), Microsoft decided to modernise the definitions of these 7 predefined size-ranges so that:

    • Large (128MB - 1GB)
    • Huge (1GB - 4GB)
    • Gigantic (> 4GB)

    ... ok that is a more 'modern' definition, but now the size: search function becomes less useful to me. Now my movie files are fragmented between 3 different search results!!

    Question:
    Does anyone know a registry key which can be used to manipulate the thresholds of the size: search filter in file explorer?

    Can´t get size:(gigantic) to work on file explorer

    How to DEcrease (!) font size and line height in File Explorer?

    I would like to decrease (!) the font size, line height and eventually the font family of the font used in File Explorer of Win10.

    When I search for "Font change file explorer" in google then users are always directed to

    Settings--->Ease of Access--->Display --->Make text bigger

    But I don't want a bigger but a smaller text. The slider is already at the left side.

    So how else can I make the font size smaller?

    By registry hack?

    More important is the line height of all files listed "details" view of File explorer.
    The spacing between two lines is gigantic. I would like to have 1 or 2 pixel between them to see more file lines to see more files without scrolling.

    How can I achieve this?

    Thank you
    Peter
