Hi All,
I wonder if some very knowledgeable windows 11 user
Can help me out with what I thought should have been a very simple thing to do!
Question:
When I open windows 11 explorer, right at the very top of the open window
You can add TABs. I add my drives to the TABs as so: C: D: E: F: G: H
But once I close explorer I have lost my setting.
I have to re assign my drives to the TABs every time I open explorer which is very frustrating.
I was wanting to know if I could edit the Windows 11 registry and make changes here to permanently set all my drives to appear on the TAB bar when I open the explorer?
Thank You

This has been asked a lot of times here on the forum and upvoted in the feedback hub numerous times.
Microsoft's official response is
"This isn't something that we currently support....Feedback has been shared with the team for future consideration"

Currently, if one wants previously opened tabs to open on restart, one has to use a tool like QTTabbar or one of the other third party explorer apps to have this feature.
Since I do not use such tools, I cannot recommend anything else.
