QT TabBar – Windows Explorer Tabs

June 1st, 2007


QT TabBar, a small little program created by Quizo, is an extension of sorts for Windows Explorer that allows for browser-like tab functionality. I’ve been using this program for a couple of weeks now and it is undoubtedly one of the finest pieces of software I’ve used. The program comes along with a shortcut key editor, making it a piece of cake to add or change keyboard shortcuts. It also brings tooltip functionality to Explorer, allowing users to view the contents of a file simply by mousing over it. Here’s a feature list straight from the site:

Features:

  • Tab bar for Windows Explorer
  • QT TabBar allows you to operates files and folders like tab browser
  • folder grouping, histories, etc.

Be warned that this feature list is not very complete and does not do the program justice. Anyway, as for the program itself I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s pretty transparent right out of the box, not putting another icon in my system tray. It also uses very little resources, pretty much none whatsoever. I urge you to download it and try it out for yourself. The manual is online as well.

You can see some pictures from the site below, and soon I’ll have some of my own screenshots to show.
