Wow! This is so cool!! Tabs are found usually in a DLL window or a browser, but now, seeing the explorer with tabs in action is really super cool,

Thanks for this! It pretty much made my files easier and faster to access. But I just noticed after installing this, when I open Chrome, an error pops up with a title 'Entry point not found' and asks for metal.dll I wonder if it modifies some dlls...

@VG: how to find a theme for this app now?....IE8 theme for instance?
VG

^^ I think changing the Windows theme is the only way to change QTTabBar appearance as it uses default Windows toolbar color.
