Restore tabs

Restore tabs

I like this program, it does for Explorer what Microsoft should have done ages ago!

My normal working practice is to have a number of Explorer windows open for the folders I'm working with and have the "Restore previous folder windows at logon" set in my Folder Options. I was hoping that this program would enable me to have only one Explorer window (with tabs for all the folders) to clear up my desktop.

I initially did a test of this by setting one Explorer window with about 4 tabs then restarted Windows. The end result was that Explorer froze on startup, needing the reset button to reboot. Needless to say, when Windows did fire up I'd lost all my previous open Explorer windows :(

So I ran another test with one Explorer window and 3 tabs then restarted Windows. That Explorer window opened on the restart but I'd lost the previously opened tabs. I have the "Restore tabs" option checked, which I assumed would provide the function I'm after, but it doesn't

So…….how can I have my opened tabs remembered after a Windows restart??

Any help would be appreciated - thanks

I was having the same problem until I went back into the Qttabbar Options - Window, and noticed that I had both "restore tabs" and "restore locked tabs" enabled. I disabled (removed the check) "restore locked tabs" and restarted explorer and that kept my previously opened tabs. I don't see myself needing to lock tabs, so this is a sufficient fix for me. Give it a go.
