Windows 10: taskbar combines all file explorer windows as 'file explorer'

how do I get separate tabs/buttons on the taskbar for each open folder like Windows 7, so I can see and in one click click to view any of them instead of only getting 'file explorer' with a pop-up preview list?

the taskbar 'never combine' setting only solves nesting for multiple iterations of Chrome and other programs, but not for Windows' own file explorer--all open explorer windows are unlisted on the taskbar with instead only 'file explorer' listed.

I suspect if I have to resort to a third-party file explorer it will work, but surely there's a way to restore the Win7 format, right?

Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks

 

Windows Explorer Replacement?

I don't use Internet Explorer, I meant the thing where you can look at files etc. Hotkey Windows+E. Maybe it's the wrong name in english though. *Stick Out Tongue
