Windows 10: Customize the behavior of windows explorer tabs in taskbar

1909 windows 10 pro n




If I have like 20 instances of windows explorer open I get the above (already checked show full pathnames in explorer options). I need this behavior to be consistant no matter if I have 1 or 40 windows open I need the full pathname (or a drive letter next to the final folder but this is not something I've already seen programmed into windows) as I have multiple SSDs and HDD with similar end folder names.

By default windows explorer tabs show the last folder's name and I had started to include hints in the final folder names with new folders but its makes you have to reference the hard drive manufacturer code at the end of each subfolder title along way in the full path. Some folders I can't change because it would break stuff I've carried over from windows 7.
