Too Many Open Windows? Make Windows Explorer More Efficient by Adding Tabs

Tabs are a beautiful thing. Without them, web browsing can be an incredibly tedious task. Tabs help organize all of your open pages in one window, saving you the time of constantly switching back and forth. And honestly, who wants to look at this?

There are already some other programs out there that do this, but this one doesn't require you to run an extra program, and it even has rainbow tabs if you want to add a little color.

Installing it is simple. Just download the application, choose your settings, and run the installer. Enable auto run if you don't want to turn on the tabs every time you restart your computer.

What a good idea. Windows should add this to their operating system

I have the opposite problem in some ways !

When I click on an email in windows live to reply, instead of 1, I get 2 or 3 'reply' windows open. Likewise when deleting a single email, the system seems to often delete 2 or 3 emails at the same time instead of just the one. I am definately not 'double-clciking' :)

Any ideas why ?
