Microsoft has made many improvements to the Sets function in the latest build of Windows 10 Redstone 5. Sets bring a tab system into applications, especially in the file explorer.
This progress has often been asked to the point of wondering why Microsoft did not implement it more quickly? In use, it quickly becomes indispensable and especially helps to increase productivity while relieving the office of many windows.
It makes sense with the file explorer. The ability to create tabs or open multiple windows from a single location saves time and efficiency.
Windows 10 Redstone 5, a more efficient file manager In Windows 10 Redstone 5 build 17639, the file explorer is enriched.
At first, a keyboard shortcut quickly becomes indispensable, the famous “CTRL +T.” If you use a browser very often, its function is not unknown to you. It triggers the creation of a new tab in the application. Similarly, the shortcut “CTRL + N” will open a new file explorer window. Finally, you can use “CTRL + W” to close this little world.
Opening a new tab/window is also possible through the file menu.
However, the most useful addition is at the level of the contextual menu accessible with a click on the right button of the mouse. By selecting a folder, for example, you can open its contents in a new window or tab.
All these advances are unfortunately only proposed within the framework of the Insiders programme. We’ll have to wait a few more months before we can enjoy it on a general public version of Windows 10. The appointment is typically set for next fall when Windows 10 Redstone 5 is launched.
