Tab Overdrive
Anonymous (24.219.15.x) 1201133910|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Any time I double click a folder, a new tab opens said folder. This gets ridiculously annoying after cruising the computer a while and I end up with 3425 (yes, that's sarcasm) tabs. Is this normal? Is there any way to change it? I haven't seen anything in the options.

So, I was just reading the old manual and found out it is, indeed, normal. Any way to set it so that a double click on a folder will just open it in the same tab, like Windows Explorer would normally do?

Try checking "Reuse existing tab".

In explorer menu:
Tools -> Folder Options… -> Open each folder in the same window

That should be it

I had already tried the "Reuse existing tab" option, but it didn't work.

The Folder Options was a good idea, but that didn't work either - it was already checked.

Alright, well, I'm going to have to uninstall it, even though it's an awesome app, because I can't stand all those tabs. I'll be sure to download it again when there's an option to open double-clicked folders in the same tab.

Well, great, now every folder opens in a new window, even with "Open each folder in the same window" selected. -.-;

Any ideas?

OKAY, now that I've spammed this thread, I've got it fixed. I got the folders opening in the same window, following the guidelines of some people found via Google - most of which were registry tweaks. I reinstalled QTTabBar, and now it works fine. Thank god. ^.^
