  1. How can I disable middle click to open a new tab in File Explorer?


    Recently we all got tabs on File Explorer. There is no option to disable these for some reason, so I use to just ignore them the best I could.But now when I click on a folder with the middle mouse button, it opens a new tab instead of a new window like it should.Opening a new tab is unwanted behavior, I don't even want to see tabs in the first place let alone have my workflow changed so that I have no choice.I see no settings anywhere in the options menu to disable this unexpected middle-clicking behavior. I use to be able to disable the tabs with ViveTool but this is causing a crash on inside

    :)

  2. When will it be possible to open Desktop folders in new File Explorer tabs?

    I love the new tabs in File Explorer, but there's a key feature missing that makes it much less usable for me:

    When using the tabbed Explorer, I'd expect folders on my Desktop to open in a new tab if an Explorer window is already present, or to have the choice between opening it in a new window or a new tab. It would be extremely convenient to set up "Open in new Tab" as the default behavior for such situations or to be able to use middle-click like it is already implemented when opening folders in File Explorer itself.

    Is this a planned feature for the future?

    How to disable tabs in Explorer 10?

    I think there is no way to disable it like in older versions. Tabbed browsing is the standard nowadays.

    But you can use just 1 tab and open everything in new window if you like it better.
