There are quite a few plugins are available to bring this web browser functionality to Windows Explorer. QTTabBar and Explorer++ are the popular tabbed browsing plugins. While these programs are good, there are not impressive. The downside of these program is that the tabs appear just below the Toolbar in Explorer and the interface isn’t good as well.

It’s a free add-on for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 Explorer and brings Google Chrome style tabs to your Windows Explorer so you can easily switch between opened windows and get your things done quickly.

    Any similar alternative that does not look like Chrome? I don’t like how it looks.

    This is an awesome plugin. I was a Mac user before and used “TotalFinder” and I’m glad I could find this awesome equivalent :)

    QTTabBar is better because I can open new tabs by clicking the middle mouse button, just like in every web browser too. It’s also less intrusive once you disable the button bar.

    Another alternative would be TabExplorer. I haven’t tested it yet though.
