I totally agree with @KK57!! Infinitely prefer a one-click VIEW - not preview - of a file. I've spent way too much time to looking for a setting that will revert the view to the way it was but I guess that's not even an option. Also, the preview screen is makes renaming a file really awkward since 90% of the file name is cut off to accommodate the preview pane.
