[REQ] Tabs in Windows Explorer

No, I'm NOT after tabs in Internet explorer...but Tabs in WINDOWS explorer. :slant:

Does anybody know of any mods to give explorer windows tabs? Or of any plugins? any explorer bars?

TO the DEVELOPERS out there- I set the challenge- tabs in explorer PLEASE!!! :D

Second alternative...is there any explorer replacements that are simple -without dual panes...like windows explorer...with all its features (thumbnails etc) reliable, customisable and not complicated that have tabs?

Cheers Levi. :cool:

That's an interesting idea. Perhaps someone could code a simple container program that contains an Explorer window in every tab? I wouldn't know where to start on that one, but someone here must.

just google : tabbed windows explorer.. first result that comes up

Thanx shockme...but I've tried that one already...its a little too complicated and different for my liking- I want something simple without multiple window panes...

preferably just an explorer mod. ;)

EDIT

-The main reason I want an explorer mod is so I can keep "Kabal's finderbar"...

-Also, I'm interested in a search bar which integrates into Windows Explorer (the actual window- not google desktop or MSN search tool- more like finder's search tool)

are you sure youve tried it? because i just installed it, and made it look very close to the original explorer.. with only 2 panes, and has all the same functionality set up similarly to explorer. there is a settings menu and view menu where you can customize everything.

sorry to tell you, but that will be the closest to getting tabs in an explorer window. or find someone to hack and mod : http://www.microgarden.com/webtools/index.htm

thats the best you'll get

You're in a tabbed phase at the moment, eh? Anyways, I think it's an interesting idea, but I'm not so sure if it's entirely usable.

im still not understanding why explorerxp isnt what you are looking for

Read my earlier post...

Explorer xp is good...I must admit- but its just not customisable enough- If you've seen my Explorer; it looks more like Finder from OSX...

Explorer XP;

-It doesn't have thumbnail view

- You cant have a finder sidebar (Kabal's finderbar)

- You Can't remove text from the buttons up the top

- Cant remove the menus

- Can't change button appearance
