    Clover Brings Chrome Style Tabs to Windows Explorer

    Clover Brings Chrome Style Tabs to Windows Explorer




    Tab management in Chrome is great, and if you wish Windows Explorer had tabs that looked and worked like Google Chrome Clover is the app for you. Once Clovr is installed Windows Explorer will have tabs that work almost exactly like the ones in Chrome work. Cntrl+T opens a new tab, Ctrl+W closes it, even middle-clicking to close a tab works. There's even a new tab box to click for a fresh explorer tab. If you right-click on a tab, you even get the same contextual menu options including the option to re-open a closed tab, duplicate an existing tab, or pin a tab to the back of the list.
    Clover is completely free, and supports Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/and Windows 10. The tabbed interface is snappy and fast, and the tabbed interface compliments the stock explorer UI. The developer's site is in Chinese, but he has an English page on his site(linked below).

    Now the installer is in Chinese as Nimbi pointed out, but just click that big white
    button and it will install. after it finishes just exit the installer without clicking anything on the next screen
    (If you Have a version of Clover already installed make sure you do uninstall it prior to installing the update. I suggest using "Program And Freature" if you don't use a 3rd part uninstaller.)



    Version: 3.1.5
    Requirements: Windows XP / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10
    Language: English / 简体中文 / 繁體中文 / 日本語 / Français / Español / Russian / Deutsch / Nederlands / Português

    DOWNLOAD:

    Information
    Nimbi brought a possible issue with clover and ipack icon packs, so to be safe when installing a ipack uninstall clover and then install the ipack. please remember if you already have an ipack installed uninstall clover, uninstall the ipack, then install the new ipack followed by clover.

    Does this work on Windows 10 RS1?


    ---EDIT---


    nevermind. It works. However, it doesn't take on third party system themes, and I didn't realise that the installer hadn't been translated either. Took a few tries to get it to uninstall since I can't read Chinese, .

    YES it works PERFECTLY with 10586 or newer. i had a issue with it on 10240. your timing is funny cause i just came in to add this to my last show you win 10 desktop post because i forgot to list it. don't know why you needed to uninstall it since what it takes away from any theme is pretty minimal. now you might still have the bookmark bar on. i turn that off. install clover, click the wrench next to the first tap, go down to bookmarks, uncheck show bookmarks bar. check out my last video in the show your 10 desk thread. see if you can live with that look.

    This does work well. I installed in RS2. The only thing I do not like about it is the additional clover icon it shows on the taskbar when I open File Explorer. This is relatively minor though.
