File Explorer - Navigation Pane - help needed

Hi there,

I think the file explorer is not very good in its structure compared to Mac OS.

Especially the navigation pane with its small icons bothers me...

1.) can the general appearance of the file explorer be changed? To look similar to

Macs finder maybe?

2.) Can the icons in the navigation pane be enlarged? they are so small on my 2560 x 1600 27'' screen..

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Cheers

1.) Yes, click the view tab and select your preferred viewing mode. You can also hide and show any panels you want.

2.) Right click on the desktop and open Display Settings. In Windows 10, there is a slider in the middle for 'Change the size of text....etc'. This scales up icons. (Other version of Windows have the same function but it might be in a different location)

 Almost as cool as my temps
