It seems to me that there is a lot of space between the lines of details in File Explorer, so the windows are unnecessarily tall.

Does anyone know why?

Is there any way that they can be brought closer together?

Thank you - After an unsuccessful Search here, I've been away Searching TenForums and found the same solution there too.

If you also want to reduce the line spacing in the nav pane, you can use Open-Shell for that.
