I've configured File Explorer to compress the vertical spacing in the Navigation pane, so that I can see more. This is a GREAT feature of Classic Shell. Unfortunately, Explorer now seems to forget the spacing from time to time. I am not sure what triggers the behavior, but I got lucky when preparing screen grabs for this post and it happened. Note the difference from before to after here:   Is the spacing change tweak something you could reaffirm with Explorer at additional times? -Noel |

It would be helpful if you can pinpoint the action that triggers the problem. It could be navigation to a certain folder, or maybe launching some program. Also, opening a new Explorer window fixes it, right? |

Launching a new window does indeed fix it. I've yet to pinpoint what causes it. It always seems to happen when I'm not looking at the Explorer window. A few moments ago I completed an installation of an application and now I noticed the rows in my two open Explorer windows are widely spaced again. I'll keep looking for a direct cause. -Noel |

I figured out how to reproduce it reliably. One need only go into the Folder Options dialog and do most anything - e.g., press the [Clear] history button.  -Noel |

I can confirm what Noel has posted. Also any setting applied under the View tab or the Search tab results in the spacing reverting to the original as well. Opening a new explorer window does "fix" it. Tested on Win10 build 10041. So far I've not found anything else that causes it. Classic Shell 4.2.0 Michael |

Yes, this is caused by Classic Explorer. It will be fixed in the next version. |

What a shame that the "Windows XP Classic" style of Navigation pane is no longer possible in Windows 10 thanks to Microsoft. Every Windows release cripples some Classic Shell feature. Update: About that Explorer folder tree corruption issue with the Navigation pane style set to "Windows XP Classic" I observed that if you set the "tree item spacing" to 4 or higher, the icons don't get corrupted even in 'Windows XP Classic' style. |

Well, it's hardly unexpected. Unused code (in the typical sense) is being removed all the time, so re-enabling dormant functionality will become less and less viable over time. Not that I agree that they should be doing so. But they are. Explorer needed a rewrite a looong time ago. Most people nowadays, sadly, seem too ignorant to understand how much better it could be. -Noel |

Thank you! Don't forget to change the download page so it says "Release" instead of "Beta". Edit: Sorry, make that the "History" page, not "download". -Noel |
