qttabbar VS explorerplusplus

I know nothing about this so 10 minutes of Googling has lead me to the conclusion that Quizo may or may not support this any longer, and looks like "indiff" has a github for QTTabBar. Maybe you can ask in the discussions page on the github? There's lots of documentation I think, but it's in Chinese so I'm not getting much out of it!

The update broke my use of QTTabBar (indiff version), so I'd hold off if you can.

I've been using QTTabBar for last 3 years and I had zero issues, my wallpaper changes every 10min. I've been using this version but there is also another one with source code available on github.

Have you tried this form of Qttabbar? I heard it works better for Windows 11 users? https://github.com/indiff/qttabbar

I've been able to set up and practice on virtual kubernetes cluster using KinD[2] (Kubernetes in Docker) thanks to the seamless integration of Docker for Windows into the WSL subsystem. VSCode can tap into Linux VMs with pretty much no delays too. Shutting down the whole thing to free up resources takes one line in Powershell and happens within a few seconds. The terminal app despite having a bit of a clunky UI is highly configurable and just works, etc.

There are things that scare me about Windows though, for example the mandatory real-time "defender" file scanning that you have to disable either manually at every boot or disable entirely through registry thus losing the virus scanning functionality. The amount of clunky Cortana stuff that really took a while to remove. The store app that feels flimsy, the games dependency on Xbox apps and subsystems which can lead to annoying bugs, and certain UI delays that make the system sometimes feel not so fast compared to the tricks Macs can pull to make you feel at ease. Consequently I'm not very likely to touch Windows 11 as Microsoft is seemingly trying to enforce more things in configurations and UI.

Works with indiff/qttabbar: Qttabbar is a small tool that allows you to use tab multi label function in Windows Explorer. (github.com)

I download it from the official site with the first link you indicated, but in github there is a fork, I have never used it because the official version I use has worked without problem.

https://github.com/indiff/qttabbar fork is more active and opened than quizo(the original one, but slow update)

And hence this question, how do I chainload the Clover/OC EFI file from the Windows Boot Manager menu? No way that I know of, you need to use another bootloader first, OC/Clover must come first. (Adding OpenCore via BCDEdit has always borked my Windows installs.) rEFInd will do this, but you need to mount your EFI (ESP) in windows with read/write, and swap bootloaders. This requires a whole bunch of steps using diskutil, or a 3rd party equivalent, explorer++ (as Administrator).

Just a heads up, I currently use Explorer++ to do this function for my role at work. TBH that app is pretty ancient compared to this new file manager but it works for my purposes.

Launch a 3rd party file explorer (or cmd) as TrustedInstaller and you will be able to replace/modify the templates.

Download this: https://explorerplusplus.com/, extract it to your desktop, right click on it and run it as admin. Then through this program try to access the files that are giving you permission errors.

Btw if you need to launch a file explorer with TrustedInstaller rights you can use 7-Zip or something like Explorer++ since the default explorer can't be (easily) launched with TrustedInstaller rights.

QTTabBar or you could switch to Explorer++.

Try something like Explorer++.

Not with the default explorer. However you could get Explorer++ and use that for when you want to see all files. It also has tabs many other useful features.

It's possible adding Explorer++ might work.
