    Open extracted files in new tab instead of new instance of explorer


    In windows explorer when a zip file is extracted a new window is opened that contains the extracted files. Is it possible to open the folder in the same instance of explorer in a new tab?

    :)

    windows explorer tabs - open a new tab in an existing window instead of opening a new window

    I would like when I already have an open file explorer and for example, if a click a folder on the desktop, I would like it to go in a new tab in the already opened file explorer instead of creating a new window

  4. Open extracted files in new tab instead of new instance of explorer

    How to open file explorer folders as new tabs by default (instead of as new file explorer windows)

    Hello,

    I am loving the tabs functionality of the new file explorer, but I am constantly annoying with the fact that opening any folder results in a new file explorer windows being spawned. What I would instead like to happen is that my current file explorer windows is made active and the folder is opened in a new tab inside of it.

    Can this be toggled somewhere as the default behavior?

    For example lets say I have a file explorer opened with 2 tabs (desktop, C drive) and I use MS Edge to download a file into the Downloads folder. I then use the "Show in folder" button inside MS Edge to open the Downloads folder. What happens is that a new file explorer window is opened with the Downloads folder. What I would like to happen is that the Downloads folder is opened as a new tab in the file explorer windows which I already am using.

    Thanks,

    Jakub
