QT TabBar

1043 / 2048 Beta

Easily create tabs for Windows Explorer for faster navigation and quicker folder access, with this handy and intuitive application

Microsoft's Windows is a very customizable operating system. The proof? Tons of third-party software, tweaks, and improvements are constantly released. The Windows Explorer however enjoys lower levels of attention, however, unlike other sections. Have you ever been annoyed by the Explorer's way of opening multiple folders, forcing you to dig through them to find the right directory? If yes, QT TabBar can help you change that. This application adds a tab bar that lets you manage your Windows Explorer just as easily as with a browser.

No shortcuts or interface

QT TabBar can be installed like any other basic software. Run the installer and you're set. Unlike most apps, this one creates no shortcuts or provides a graphical interface. The substitute for a UI is a simple context menu with a handful of options. The context menu can be accessed from within any folder by right-clicking the new bar's empty space.

Straightforward context menu

QT's context menu is split into four segments. The first one allows you to create groups of directories for quicker access to certain items and see all recent tabs or files.
Moving down the ladder, the second segment gives you more control over active tabs. If you have numerous active tabs, you can add more, close all but the one you're on, merge tabs from another window, restore a recently closed one or change their order on the bar.
The third group of options deals with toolbars. The looks and position of the toolbars can be changed. A locking feature allows you to lock the toolbars in place, to auto-hide them, or synchronize their positions with the default view.

App's options

Every entry in the context menu pales in comparison with how complex the option's area is. If until now QT TabBar looked like a superficial app, just take a gander at its customization levels. There are a ton of functions inside there that allows one to change the Explorer’s behavior and looks.

Powerful utility for anyone interested in fine-tuning the Windows Explorer

In summary, QT TabBar can completely change the way the WE work and how you interact with it. The tabs feature is, of course, the main dish here, but you have a plethora of other tweaks that give you the power to build the perfect Windows Explorer.
