The default File Explorer in Windows does not offer tabs, unlike Internet Explorer. There may be times when we need to have multiple instances of the Explorer window open. For this, we have to right-click any item and choose Open in new window. This opens a separate window, and that now lets us manipulate content between the two windows. Meet Tablacus Explorer, – it will help your open tabs and display them in various layouts. Tablacus Explorer is portable File Manager software that can be used without installing. We tested it on the latest Windows 11, and it worked nicely.

As you can see in the above-shown screenshot, we can have up to four windows running in the same instance. Thus, if you’re concerned about the view of Explorer, this tool is a must-have for you.

- Tabbed interface for multiple windows

Tablacus Explorer Loading Layouts
