Ok..well I tried the @VBJP method in File Explorer, does not work as expected for me. I have read about 'Sets', but am still unclear exactly what it should do!! Anyway always interesting to try new versions.

It's just a beginning, it was introduced couple of builds ago but taken out to be worked on further.

CTRL + middle-clicking in the file explorer button in the taskbar also works.

That works best for me. Way faster than anything else to get what I want to see, a second Explorer tab.

However, the tabs don't remain if you close the entire explorer window (or, rather, they are not remembered).

Well it certainly needs some work & without the Feedback Hub working I cannot give any feedback...lol. Having said that this version does work okay..ish.

The best links to read about Sets are the ones from Last Nov -

Microsoft will finally bring a tabbed experience to Windows 10

Microsoft feature kills standalone application windows

Microsoft shows off Windows a tabbed app interface that puts a web browser everywhere | TechCrunch

The ones in the past couple of days are making it out to be just simply tabs, when in fact, Sets is not that at all (right now).

Also there is problem with File explorer not remembering Ribbon status on start. It always open with ribbon minimized. So it adds one more click to some of my work flows.

This too - I suspect this is because of Sets.

I like the idea of Sets, but at the moment it is working in a way that really disturbs me. I always have 5 to 10 tabs open in Edge, clicking new tab for instance in Command Prompt, it just opens all those Edge tabs.

I had to disable it for now.

I like the Explorer ribbon shown, too. Unfortunately, disabling Sets does not help, Explorer always opens ribbon minimized.

The other issue is Command Prompt (Admin). If I open cmd via Start and try to right click and open as a admin nothing happens. However if I open the location of cmd (C:\WINDOWS\system32) then right click it works.

A fast and easy way to open elevated Command Prompt is to type CMD in Cortana and press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER. This key combination opens the first item in search results elevated (run as admin).
