Wehn a window is open then I open another folder from shortcut a new winow is created not a tab

Basically when I have My Computer or a window open instead of opening a new tab when I open a shortcut to a folder from my desktop it opens a new window. Can someone give me some insight on a option that will resolve this it just started happening after upgrading to the latest version.

This just started happening to me as well. I have the box unchecked in the screenshot, and also have Capture new explorer processes checked. It always worked before, then I checked the Restore tabs box and now QTTabBar does not capture new explorer processes and opens a new window. I have 1.2.2.1 installed. Thanks.

It happened to me also. so I have checked the box (do not capture window as a new tab… )Then I opened a new window from shortcut and activated QTTabbar here(view->toolbars->QTTabbar). I have closed all win explorer windows. Start explorer again unchecked the box (do not capture window as a new tab… ) and it start working again.
