it's called "List View" in Explorer windows

There isn't an Explorer addin that does this. UltraExplorer does this.

yeah "list view" is not what I am talking about at all. and I have seen ultraexplorer, but im not that desperate to have it... to have to open a damn program just too find some files, ya know? i wish there was like some time of shell integrator thing that just added it right into explorer.

What features are you looking for? What doesn't list view do for you?

I'm guessing you are running XP?

Zu, think dynamic list view. You select a folder, then another column pops up, and so on until you select the file you want.

If it were to have happened I'm pretty sure it would have been done. My limited knowledge indicates that you essentially would have to create a new inline (for lack of a better term)browser control for each column. This would most likely balloon Explorer into some obscene range depending on the contents of each column.

The reason tabs are fairly functional like in QTTabbar(again from my limited perspective) is that you just use the standard explorer box and the tabs are simply controls that load that folder into the one control.

I use ObjectBar for that kind of navigation. :)
RightClick does the same thing (I think)
