Came across a great application that gives you a multi-tabbed Explorer experience. First read about this from a LifeHacker post.
Note: I am running this on Windows 8 and noticed that if you have Explorer pinned, open it up and then create a new tab and minimize Explorer, when you activate it again, it adds a new tab to the end. I haven’t tested, but you can probably unpin Explorer to work around this or find the setting in the registry to disable open last folder. If I figure it out, I’ll update this post.
The application is called Clover 2 and you can download it from their website: http://ejie.me/
Here’s a screenshot:
A few Keyboard shortcuts:
CTRL-t = New tab
CTRL-w = Close current tab
CTRL-Tab = Navigate through tabs
CTRL-n = n being number of tab to access that tab so CTRL-1, CTRL-2 etc.
