  1. File Explorer Less Compact After Update


    After one of the updates, my File Explorer changed a bit to have more blank space between files. This makes it a bit difficult for me to find things when I have a lot of files to look through.Bellow is a picture of what it looks like now:I was wondering if there was a way to change it back or to just be able to adjust the amount of blank space between files.Thanks!

    :)
