Options/Default new tab folder

Explorer++

Tools/Options.../Default new tab folder

System Default:   My Computer

This option allows the user to select a default folder to be used when a new tab is opened.  The option presents a typical Windows Browse For Folder dialog, allowing the user to choose a folder.  Prior to using this option, the default folder is My Computer.

If a folder is set by this option, then subsequently is renamed or deleted (ie. folder cannot be found), new tabs default back to My Computer.

    Tip: The Browse For Folder dialog is an native Windows dialog and, as such, respects the settings from the Control Panel/Folder Options - View tab.  Specifically, the
  • Do not show hidden files and folders, and the

  • Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) setting

if enabled will prevent display of some folders by this dialog.  This behavior exists even if Explorer++ is set to display hidden items, since Explorer++ has no control over this dialog.

It is recommended that both of the above settings be changed to display all files and folders when using Explorer++, and to use its own control of these attributes.
