  • What is a piece of software that you need but doesn't exist?
    Try QTTabbar. Adds a lot of features to windows explorer including tabs (disable tab bar if using with windows 11 with native tabs in explorer) After installation enable the toolbars from View -> Options (or use the enabler app on windows 11). Source: 6 months ago
  • Enabling a feature in File explorer
    False. It is not the only software, I use Qttabbar since Windows 7 and thanks to it I have tabs that I can customize, and they are more useful than the native tabs. Source: over 1 year ago
  • This is a joke? we have icons for Paint in dark theme, but we don't have any option to activate a dark theme in Paint? Really? 🤨 The icons for Paint in dark theme on the left and in light theme on the right, as they can be found in the Paint installation folder.
    About tabs, since Windows 7 I use tabs in the file explorer thanks to Qttabbar. Qttabbar tabs are customizable and more useful than native tabs. I had to use vivetool to permanently disable native tabs, and instead I use Qttabbar tabs. You can download tab skins within Qttabbar or you can create your own tabs. The tabs you have seen in the image were made by me based on Edge's new rounded tab design, as you can... Source: over 1 year ago
  • i want to permanently uninstall QTTabbar version 1043 in windows 11.
    Read "When you fail to uninstall QTTabBar" here - http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is there a better file manager than Explorer that I can download?
    If you're on win11 you should update your pc then you got tabs If you're on older than win11 you can try http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Look, its fine to not like change, but dont pretend its anything else...
    It does, but there's a thing called QTabBar which adds that and much more if you're on 10, give it a try. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Did you know that at one point Windows 10 too had tabs in File Explorer?
    QTTabBar has the same functionality. Been using it for years, compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. Free as well: http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Replacement for QTTabBar?
    I've been using QTTabBar for last 3 years and I had zero issues, my wallpaper changes every 10min. I've been using this version but there is also another one with source code available on github. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is there any way to get tabs on a file manager in Windows?
    QTTabBar is the way to go. It supports windows 7 to 10, is extremely customisable and FOSS. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • An advantage of the tabbed File Explorer is less memory consumption. On my PC each File Explorer opened alone increases the memory consumption of the explorer.exe process by about 10Mb, but each new tab only increases by about 1Mb. Test yourself to see if you get the same results.
    From Windows 7 to Windows 11 I have been using tabs in file explorer thanks to Qttabbar 😎. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Windows 11’s refreshed File Explorer gets tabs, favorites, and a new homepage
    Would still rather use QTTabBar instead with actual features. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Microsoft says Windows 11 File Explorer ads were ‘not intended to be published externally’
    QTTabar for integrated tab options within File Explorer or Files for a more Mordern and sleek looking windows Explorer. Source: about 2 years ago
  • This is ridiculous, but I still find the Win7 photo viewer to be the best and most convenient built-in tool by MS for viewing photos.
    With QTTabbar, you just hover over any document - image, video, audio, text - to preview it. You can select which filetypes it'll preview and there are a million other options that bring back Win10 (and expanded) options. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Microsoft is finally bringing tabs to File Explorer on Windows 11
    If anyone wants to know how to get tabs on other version of windows check out QTTabBar. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Has anyone figured out how to get tabs for file explorer? Is it possible?
    QTTabBar beta version. Screenshot. You can change the look of the tabs too to make it look more native. Source: over 2 years ago
  • I wanted to love the Files app that was posted here a while ago, but this is unacceptable...
    I've never faced any problems with QTTabBar, it's perfect on all monitors for me. You sure you're using an up to date release? Check here http://qttabbar.wikidot.com. Source: over 2 years ago
  • What are some of the coolest/most useful programs to have in 2022?
    QTTabBar is brilliant for having multiple tabs on windows file explorer. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Can someone explain to me why it doesn't work? It never finds what I look for!
    Use Qttabar It adds tabs function to windows explorer But it also includes a very fast and useful search box If you want to search the whole system use void tools everything. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Does anyone know how The Organizer got his Explorer to look like this?
    This is what your looking for I think.. http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Windows 11 review: Aesthetics over functionality
    Explorer - QTTabBar - Adds tabs to Explorer, and there is a new version for Win11. I don't use most of the features in there so I can't really speak for how good the app is overall. All I know is I can add tabs to Explorer windows, and save groups of tabs to quick open. That's all I care about, and it works great. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Good Day guys; I was wondering if anyone knows what causes this "Program" thing to appear on Task Manager//startup? - There were two of these and one disappeared. Weeks ago they used to refuse when I "disable" their startup status but now it works. Nothing is wrong with my PC though (Win10 21H1).
    Hello :) I used a software called Stardock Groupy, you should try it. Another program you can use is QTTabbar which is highly customizable and free. Source: over 2 years ago
