Hi Void,
I have a similar issue, but it’s probably not worth a new post, so I’m commenting here.
I recall that previous versions of Everything opened paths/folders in a new tab in QTTabBar, but newer versions open a separate File Explorer window instead.
I’m trying to figure out how to fix this. Below is a solution using AHK:
https://superuser.com/questions/1768218 ... windows-11
After some trial and error, I got it working:
Is there a simpler way to open a path/folder in a new tab instead of a new File Explorer window? The URL above mentions "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\opennewtab". I’m wondering if Everything has a built-in command to do this, which would avoid the need for an AHK script.
Thanks in advance.
