I really hope the developers of Tabbed Explorer (QTTaBar) update it to work with Windows 7. I tried installing it on my Windows 7 x64 O/S and it DID NOT WORK. It looked like it did initially, but once you close the Windows Explorer and reopen it, it dissapears and messes up Windows Explorer.

This feature is so important (at least) for computer programers like myself, who needs multiple windows open at once when bouncing between projects and comparing files, etc..

I do not know what i’ll do now without this awsome utility. I guess I’ll have to toggle between windows again taking a step backwards

Has this been tested in Windows 7 RC yet? I’m currently using the 64-bit version and don’t want to introduce any potential instabilities.

I’ve submitted a feature request to Microsoft for tabbed browsing in Windows Explorer:

Windows Explorer definitely needs tabs. It seems obvious when you think about it!

You know how in Windows vista the plus and minus icons have been replaced by the little triangles that are only visible when you mouseover the explorer bar? Does anybody know how to get the plus and minus icons back

Same problem with the uninstalling, once you install this you can never hide your menu bar again! Even after it’s uninstalled. I even reinstalled it, told it to hide bar, uninstalled, and the bar is back.

If you press alt+up arrow (in vista) it has the same effect as the “up one level” button from XP

side note*
alt+left arrow = back
alt+right arrow = forward

*works in both explorer and internet explorer

@SDX: You should post on the official QTTabBar forum at http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/fo.....iscussions
You would have a better chance at getting a reply from the author there.
