With this little-known application, you can access Windows File Explorer's hidden features
Windows File Explorer is a built-in tool in the operating system and arguably one of the most used. Hence, all the available functions will always be appreciated, as is the case here.
We will tell you about a third-party tool that unlocks some hidden features in this important Windows File Explorer for Windows. In this way, we will be able to use some additional functions without having to spend a single cent.
Specifically, we are referring to a freely available open-source project that serves as a complement to the Windows Explorer tool.
The first thing we should know is that the Explorer Tab Utility program that is the subject of this article allows us to do things like force Explorer windows to open as tabs. On the other hand, it is worth noting that the application also allows us to duplicate the tab we are in or navigate through custom disk paths.
Meanwhile, we can reopen recently closed tabs by simply using a keyboard shortcut. This will be a great help to us in case we accidentally close some sites opened in Explorer tabs.
In contrast, this open-source program that works as a complement to Windows Explorer provides us with a series of useful key combinations to improve our productivity. Most of the tools included here focus on using the tabs of this important component to manage the content stored in the system.
At the same time, we should keep in mind that this program we are talking about has just received an update to improve its performance. These are the main new features that have been integrated with the latest update of the program.
- Smart switching between existing tabs instead of creating duplicates of them.
- Improvements in tab history where closed tabs are reopened using the Ctrl + Shift + T key combination.
- Support for detaching and relinking tabs between windows.
- We have the ability to set a destination window for new tabs.
- Open multiple tabs at the same time.
