Answer
Open up your file explorer. Click on the Layout and view options menu and select Compact view. As you can see, this will change your spacing between files back to normal. In case this option reverts back after restarting your PC, you will have to make a change in your file explorer folder options. Click on the three dots, and in the drop-down menu, select Options. On the options window, under View, you have the option to enable the Decrease space between items option. This will in turn, have the same effect as using the integrated folder option.
