When they rewrote Windows explorer for Win 11, they clearly gave the job to the office junior, who had no idea what the previous version (matured for decades in the warm heat of actual usage) was capable of. And they didn't bother to find out because adding tabs was clearly a much more interesting use of their time.
And today I notice they have put something back: you can now drop files onto parts of the address bar to copy / move files to the parent folder (for example) or onto the folder list on the left!
Taken 'em long enough to put back a useful function, but I'm happy they finally did.

Oh I've missed that particular feature greatly!
I've just got to wait for our instance to catch up ... :tapping fingers:, :tapping foot:

So have I - the tabs are still useless because you can't drop onto tabs, but ... maybe in a decade they'll think of that.

they'll probably reincarnate VB6 before they think of that

Still on Win10 here... are you telling me that in Win11 you couldn't (until now) drag/drop directly onto the folder (treeview) panel? That's absolutely crazy! I even have links to FTP sites so that I can just drag-drop up to FTP (without having to open the FTP folder and get the file list, which takes foreeeeever).
That said, I currently (starting a week or so ago) have an issue where if I right-click anything in explorer (to access anything on the context menu) it takes a good 30 seconds to open... I'm assuming a 3rd party tool (e.g. SodaPDF, Notepad++, PowerISO or something) is broken... nothing updated for a while. Except.. yes a Windows update, 13th June. doh...

I had that as well - lasted about a week, but suddenly went away. I thought it was doing a "proper reboot" of my system that cured it, but probably not.

I had an issue like that for a long while⦠then I found that one of the short cuts I rarely used referenced my previous system which was off network!
Updated the shortcut to fix it.

Strange. I could've sworn Kaspersky got banned at least half a decade ago.
Or maybe that was "the US government", as opposed to "the US" in general...?
I'm tempted to suggest that while they're at it, they should ban the sale of all antivirus software (since, according to most industry pundits, the one built into Windows is now, and has been, "good enough" for a long time...but then I suppose MS would become complacent.

English is not my mother tongue but "favorited" sounds like a complete abomination. However Microsoft seems to think otherwise. This is a screen capture from Windows Explorer. How would you vote: to favorite or not to favorite?
PS A phrase like "After you marked some files as favourites, we'll show them here", wouldn't have been much longer and for sure would have been more grammatically sound.

Using past tense in such scenarios can be problematic.
Best not to verb it.

Favoriting is not a valid word. Favorite is either a noun or an adjective but not a verb.

I was once told (half-jokingly) that in English, you can practically "verb any noun".
