Add Tabs to Explorer in Windows Vista

Posted by c0d3r on February 28, 2008

Recently I stumbled upon a neat little utility to put tabs on your windows explorer windows. Thus saving valuable space while browsing your hard drive. Add tabbed browsing to Explorer with the free QT TabBar. Download, extract, and install. Log off and on again, then hop into Explorer. Right-click the menu bar and add both QT TabBar and QT Tab Standard Buttons to the display.

Tabs work much like they do in Firefox, with some new tricks available: Dragging a file from one window to another tab in order to move it to another folder is an especially nifty Tabbed file browsing puts an end to cascading convenience. Explorer windows.

Works with Vista as well as XP (with .Net 2.0 installed), and is definitely worth a try. And the best thing of all, Its free !

    Monkee, its for explorer (as in explorer.exe, you know, the program that is used to vew files and folders), not internet explorer. Internet explorer already has tabs in the 7.0 version.
  • Sweet, I might go back to IE now. Thanks for the info.
