In this article, I will show you How to Enable New Feature for Tabs in File Explorer in Windows 11 25290.
Microsoft continues to improve the Tabs in File Explorer and in Build 25290 for the Dev Channel, they are adding another feature to the Tabs in File Explorer. You will now be able to drag a tab outside of its window, to create another separate window with the contents of that certain tab. In this article, I will show you how to enable that.
Thanks to PhantomOcean3 for discovering this, follow him for more hidden features!
You will need to download ViveTool, which is a small app that will help us enable hidden features from Windows.
After you download ViveTool, you will need to extract the contents of the archive into the System32 location so that we can have full administrative privileges to the operating system.
Right-click on the archive and then click on Extract all. Select the System32 location and then click on Extract. You will also need to provide some administrative privileges.
After you’ve done that, you will need to open CMD as administrator and then copy and paste the following command:
vivetool /enable /id:39661369
You will now need to restart your computer, for the changes to take effect.
After the restart, you will be able to create a new window with the contents of a certain tab, by just dragging it outside of its window.
For a more in-depth tutorial, you can watch the video below from the youtube channel.
