it worked real nice to keep pics, vids, and such in groups now you have to find the first, and then go down and remember the first

so that's the details pane in windows 11. when you select 1 file it will show details and a preview/thumbnail. when you highlight multiple files it will show the quantity but no details about the total size, etc.

to get the old style back, you can

1) use @LesFerch tool OldExplorer to invoke the windows 10 style file explorer (and it will then look like the details pane on the right-hand side of the above image
.https://github.com/LesFerch/OldExplorer

2) use startallback or explorerpatcher to invoke the old details pane at the bottom (windows 7 style and will allow you to continue using the windows 11 tabbed file explorer)

Download from that site is not possible. When clicking the link 'Download' this message appears (translated from Dutch by DeepL):
The file you are trying to download is no longer available
This link is not available because the user's account has been closed for gross violation of MEGA's Terms and Conditions.
Edit:
The file still can be downloaded from here:

I did a test with OldNewExplorer on my Virtualbox Windows 11 test system, using StartAllBack to revert to Windows10 UI / Windows 7 UI
It just gives some options to disable some buttons and minor functions, like disabling the status bar, disabling the Up arror (to return to parent folder and some others.

Not very usable for me.

I think StartAllBack can pull it off on it's own, in Win7 mode, but, I use OldNewExplorer for a couple of other tweaks.
Not sure if OldNewExplorer can do it all on it's own, at least not the way I have it.
