Windows Explorer Through the Years

One thing I find myself missing from Windows Vista/7's Explorer is the tiny media thumbnail in the lower left corner, in the bottom bar. Useful when browsing using the "details" view and going through the list with the keyboard arrows, without bothering with a full preview panel.

Unpack the RAR file somewhere, open the configuration tool inside, configure as desired but ensure the "Show details pane on the bottom" is enabled. You'll then get an explorer that looks very similar to the Windows 7 style, complete with the exact same Win 7 details pane which frankly is a lot more useful than the basic one in Windows 10.
