    Won't tab all applications but the best for adding tabs to the file explorer which badly needs them! The quick look into subfolders is super useful and I can't live without now!

    Tabexplorer (and a TON of the other alternatives listed) add tabs to the windows file explorer. Groupy is a tabbed UI that basically "eats" other programs and stuffs them into itself as tabs.
    One is an enhancement to a file browser, the other is a Windowing Manager.
