Change the View Style in File Explorer

Files and folders in File Explorer can be displayed in different ways.
There are 8 options available in view styles:

  1. Extra large icons
  2. Large icons
  3. Medium Icons
  4. Small icons
  5. List
  6. Details
  7. Tiles
  8. Content.

To change to one of these view styles, press Control + Alt + 1 through to 8. The number corresponds to the position in the list of view styles above.
Our favourite view styles are List or Details because it means that you only have to use the Up and Down Arrows to move through the list of files and folders.
To change to List View, press Control + Alt + 5 and Details is Control + Alt + 6.
