    Extends functionality of Windows Explorer - adds tabs and much more to it. Works fine on Windows 10.

    It works fine. To start a new tab, simply enable auto-group feature and open a new window from Explorer menu.

    It's a file manager, not a tab manager. And it's a crap file manager at that.
