    Dynamic Navigation Pane File Explorer


    Hey guys,
    I hope everyone is doing well!

    Quick question, does anyone know how to or rather if there even is a way, to be able to set the navigation pane in File Explorer to dynamically minimize and maximise on mouse hover?

    I have pined the option to show and hide navigation pane on the quick access toolbar but having it on mouse hover would save a heck of a lot of time.

    Will be interesting to hear everyone's thoughts.
    Many thanks in advance!

    Win10-Pro Build. XPS15-7590

    with QTTabBar, the Vertical Toolbar will auto-hide...

    Hi Edwin,

    Thanks for the reply & sorry for the super delayed response!

    I do quite like the clean/polished look of the native file explorer, but I will have a look at your recommendation, QTTabBar.
    Who knows, maybe we'll see this as a feature in the upcoming Win11.

    Thanks again!
