Add tabs to Windows Explorer

0 comments
We are so much used to Internet browsing and using tabs, that we sometimes want to browse through the computer like we browse the Internet.
There is a solution to that too. It's called QTTabBar.
QTTabBar is a plugin which adds the tab functionality to Windows Explorer.


This is particularly useful when you have to open few windows and do some file management. This way, you can quickly switch to the tab and do your work quickly.
QTTabBar is VERY customizable. It has a lot of options which may make your browsing more natural and faster.
For example, these are the options I've set for the tabs.


So, if you like this functionality, support the developer, donate if possible. The download link is above the images.

Change the default icon of Windows 7 Libraries

0 comments
The default Windows 7 Library icons can get boring after a while. There is a tool which does this in a very quick manner:
Library Icon Changer, which was made by bluefisch2000 from deviantART.
(Property of deviantART)

There is another way, which is way slower, but you may understand how things work with the libraries. Open up Notepad/Notepad++, and drag one of the libraries which are found in "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries" to the editor.
The <IconReference> tag represents the current icon. You may enter the path to an .ico file, or some DLL.

Add thumbnails for FLV, MKV, MP4 files to Windows Explorer

5 comments
Windows comes with thumbnails for only few formats, which are natively ran without the need of third-party software. If you have new content with different format, it won't be able to play if you don't have correspondent codecs. And if you are like me, and you want every format to have it's thumbnail, than this is the perfect place to search.

I present to you, Icaros Shell Extension 2.0.0. This is a software which lets you have thumbnail for essentially every media format.


Install Icaros Shell Extension, run the .exe file, and type the extensions you want added in the textbox.
(Note: Every extension must start with "."(period) and end with ";"(semicolon))
After adding new extensions, press Activate Icaros, and you are done.

Download Icaros Shell Extension 2.0.0
