𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: I figured out how to change the settings for QTTabBar. In the same dropdown where you enable QTTabBar (seen in the video), enable "QT Command Bar", then click the Gear icon to bring up options. You can then disable some of the annoying extra elements such as: • Tab > 'Close Button, Icon, lock' > Disable options under "Display Tab Icon" • Preview > Uncheck "show preview tooltip for..." • Subfolder Menu > Uncheck "Enable Subfolder Menu"

Omg the first one is so useful. Having tabs in explorer is so useful for modding, cause I always have loads of explorer windows open and this makes it so much easier. Thank you

In his process viewer I see he has 'everything'. Why not include that in vid? It's a great free program that is essential

one thing I LOVE about QTTabBar is being able to double click inside a folder to go back one screen instead of clicking the back button or using backspace.

• Sysinternals wasn't created by Microsoft, it was created by Winternals, which Microsoft acquired (and Mark Russinovich became a Microsoft employee-but his partner Bryce Cogswell did not). Sysinternals was subsumed into Microsoft but the tools kept the Sysinternals branding. • SuperF4 is as limited as the Task Manager; some processes are unkillable due to various reasons. :-\

I've been using QTTabbar ever since this video came out and it is *extremely* useful. Superf4 hasn't been used that much but I will sometimes run into a program that not only forces itself to the front and freezes the entire computer, but also prevents task manager (Mostly just older games). Being able to simply click on the icon and then click the screen stops whatever is going on most of the time.

Number 9 : MSI Afterburner Intel HD users : Am I a joke to you?!

Thanks, ThioJoe I did find a few very useful I hope you are having a great holiday and Merry Christmas!

Hey, thanks for the cool Christmas gift! I liked several of these, but the tabs in windows explorer was the best of the best, and will use it lots on every day i am doing computer m&o stuff

Love to see you mentioned Libre Office, love it and use it on Linux as Solus is my daily driver also already use Libre office on Windows, its really good!!

Thio : *calls us fools* Also thio : *has a laptop on his head in the thumb nail*

Joe dropping all these gifts on us for Christmas

There were a couple of things I might find helpful thank you

Merry Christmas ThioJoe! And to everyone else as well🎄🎅.

Fake, Internet Explorer is not on this list

Thanks for the epic Christmas present thio!

Super f4 sounds pretty cool. There's also a command in Windows to kill tasks that can be run from command prompt or just the run box even : taskkill. It's pretty useful but of course if something is compeltely flogging your resources you might not be able to use any kind of shell to get it to run.

That QTTabbar, amen. I would like to give a million likes to this video! That really should be an option in windows itself without external programs.

why wasn't open-shell on this list it lets you customize the start menu and taskbar

These are actually quite useful! Thanks man!

dude! I like your computer videos, but I have to say that I like your music collection even more. THE FLOYD! Same here.

Used Gog Galaxy 2 for months. Recently switched to Playnite, which is way better imo. Less buggy and the interface is more customizable while I didn't liked gog2's design that much

At the end of 2019, we should all be grateful for what windows 7 has done for us all these years... Now it's dying... RIP windows 7

Joe You answered a question I have been asking myself a lot: "Why is my task manager on top of all my windows even tho it's not selected?" The answer is that ever since I pinned it on my taskbar, it enabled "Always on top" without asking me. Thank you for helping me, Joe.

Throttlestop is pretty cool for those who want to undervolt and overclock their CPU on Windows without going into their bios menu. Takes a bit of trial and error to tweak everything to your desired needs, but the results are pretty sweet and those cooler CPU temps do not disappoint.

Quadruple internet for free is my favorite program by far Merry Xmas!

3:10 I love you, been looking for something like this for a lot of time :DDDD

The QTtab bar is exactly what I have been wanting. Geeze... thanks

This video made me subscribe to your channel, thanks for sharing!!

Finally, two years later tabbed explorer is built in on windows 11

win dir stat.. not win deer stat.

i discovered musicbee as an alternative for groove music on windows 8.1, now i use windows 10 but i still use musicbee! (btw the Auto-DJ is dope)

Great infos. Just one another I love is Everything - file searching utility.

7:17 "Gamsave Manager"

ThioJoe: *recommends LibreOffice* Openoffice: "Am i a joke to you?"

For MSI afterburner you can also add rava Tuner it shows osd of various stats (user selected) from temps to clockspeeds and fps. Very customizable too.

about QTTabbar there's a feature you haven't talked about if you put your mouse on a video or image it'll zoom the image and it'll zoom and play the video that was so useful for me

How about 10 free programs for Linux?

Haha process hacker, the perfect program to see who injected a hack in minecraft

Thio: Opens Music Bee His music: *ummagumma*

we need more videos like this.. :) thnx for this video

Actually some programs that would make my life easier.

I click so fast! But still not the first viewer.

I did not expect much... But almost every program listed is usefull and i didn't already knew it. Thanks!

Love these vids you do. Always good stuff

I expected a bonus one.

Ho Ho Ho 🎅🏻

that video is great, thank you so much, I've downloaded 2 of these programs, superf4 and gog galaxy, thank you very much!

Thanks ThioJoe another great video, full of excellent content

Everytime I watch one of your videos I feel like you're about 10 steps ahead of everyone else.... like a Lex Luther of the 21st Century.

Does super f4 stop full screen games for real? iwaste my WHOLE life to found it thanks!

I noticed that the Recycle Bin doesn't really empty when you delete the items. Is there a way to actually delete everything, especially photos? Was just wondering.

MSI Afterburner in my experience is a must for nVidia GPUs, specifically to set the desired fan profile. Just don't run nVidia GPUs under load without making sure to have the proper fan profile applied. MSI AB does it magnificently. PS: my case scenario is running 2 or 3 GPUs (RTX2020Ti to GTX1080) under full compute/rendering load for hours per day, over several years, but even in lighter scenarios such as gaming I strongly suggest to make sure cooling is effective.

When you're too early and you are the first watching

I am a fool (x10)

Another useful program: FreeFileSync, lets you compare different folders and even drives so that you know whether your backup is up to date for example

Also that SuperF4 would've save myself a lot of time to get games to close when the computer isn't responding.

I am no fool

Happy Holidays Thio Joe!! Thumbs up! : )

First of all, QT Tab Bar didn't save the contents of the tabs when I switch between them like a web browser would, which meant that my computer had to reload all of the contents of a folder, which is not idea for HDDs, especially big ones. I'd rather just have multiple windows open. Second, I could not find the option to disable the preview, at least on my version, which I found to be very obnoxious and tanked my computer. Third, I got the error "install server not responding" every time I tried to uninstall it, and I had to delete its folder directly and run DISM and sfc to get rid of the preview.

QTTaskBar is an absolute MUST.

Came to the comments to see the programs and time of appearances; was disappointed not to find them. I’m too lazy to do it so y’all will have to wait for a hero

The first one itself was a banger. What a good start.

I like the QTTBar. The rest were good to know, thanks for sharing

QTTabBar! It even wraps the tabs onto multiple rows when you make the window smaller! Locks tabs so you can't go up a level and lose it. Creates a new tab if you do go up a level. Microsoft should buy-out these guys, like SysInternals.

One of your TUTS for win10 makes my windows security administrator privileges funky.

Thanks a lot, Very Helpful.

Super useful set of videos thanks.

Brilliant. Thanks buddy. Very useful.

Wow man, that's super helpful and cool

5:00 Ok, windows, now I'll definetely know what to kill when you try to update again.

After installing qttabbar I literally can't live without it

TY for telling me about qttabbar, i thought you had to be on the windows dev build only to get it

Make a video where you write custom scripts (via powershell or whatever), show us the scripts in action, and then provide the code.

yeah gog galaxy is great + you can even use it to start some of the emulators as well

I've used: Winderstat Proc Explorer Libre office Sys internal suite .. But damn that tabbed explorer thing is great.

Handbrake is probably the best program I’ve downloaded in recent years if you’re into video editing and what not!

can attest to LibreOffice as being good, my work uses it for any task that requires an office suite, plus using it for a few years prior

What alternatives for the Windows 10 Photos app do you recommend if you use any?

Help, I only have the tabs enabled, but the program also moved the panel with shortcuts for cut, copy, paste, delete that's under the folder location bar from the right to the left side, making them useless for me, I can't figure how to change that in the program settings.

Qttwebbar doesn't seem to have a dark option. Sense I use dark mode on win 10 my file browser is dark so the white of the tab bar sticks out like a sore thumb

Thanks. Gonna get tab file manager.

love love love QTTbar Microsoft should have this as OEM

3:48 Sysinternals 4:46 procexp 6:52 TreeSize - WinDirStat alternate 8:16 MSI Afterburner

WinDirStat has some very handy SU attributes that I really like

My all time favorite free program is FancyZones. Comes as part of PowerToys. It's awesome.

Process hacker can also let you inject dlls and SQL to programs (for example internal cheats for cs:go injected via dll)

As a Cybersecurity Architect, let me offer a few very easy to use but incredibly useful and powerful apps. perhaps you can include them in your next list if you find them useful. Everything. That's the name. IT's the fastest local, mapped, and external drive indexer and search there is. Period. Then there's chocolatey. Install all your 3rd party apps possible with chocolatey. I won't dig into it here but trust me when I say, once configured, you can install something like Firefox by typing, "choco install firefox -y" in an admin command prompt and that's it. It' gets the installer from the developer sites so no jacked code. then when you want, you can run "choco update all -y" and every app installed with Chocolatey gets updated by them in seconds. We use it to create our own package transforms and the like but the free basic functionality of Chocolatey is excellent. You can even install the other app I mentioned here with it. Check the Chocolatey switches available to you, they are very useful.

Fun fact : they actually added the tab feature in windows 11 22H2 :)

By the way window's task manager is less likely to no chance of crashing. The one's who wrote that, programmed taskmanager to run as long as the unit is turned on, but even other windows proccessess comes crashing. Tough taskmanager

Nice and informative.

2:00 - A lot of Pink Floyd music... Like it very much too!

I really like Faststone image viewer, I've been using for years.
