DMEXBar is an add-on to Windows Explorer that lets you add extra features to Explorer. When you install DMEXBar, it adds a new toolbar to Explorer with features like the following: Arrange explorer windows side by side, rename multiple files at once, quick change to favorite folders, quick create directory, split files, calculate directory size, and more. One of the program’s best features is the new button it adds that lets you quickly open up another instance of Windows Explorer right next to your current window. You can also add buttons that make it easier to launch a command prompt, copy or paste files, or mark them as favorites. DMEXBar works with Windows 2000 and XP. (via Download Squad)

QTTabBar is Windows Explorer add-on that allows you to navigate files and folders in a tabbed browser, just like you do in IE7. The program, written in C#, works on any Windows XP or Vista (32-bit) machine with .NET 2.0+ installed. To get started, download the latest version and install the program. Reboot and logon to Windows again. Open a folder in Explorer and right-click on the toolbar. Check ‘QT TabBar’. That’s it! There’s also a desktop toolbar available which you can access by right-clicking on the Task Bar and checking ‘QT Tab Desktop Tool’ in the ‘Toolbar’ menu. This is so convenient, I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before now!
