I will probably find tabs useful. When I wanted to use tabs type functionality I used to open multiple instances of Explorer and drag files from one to the other. That was a bit slow. At least now I can do it on the same panel.
Here is a useful tip I picked up about tabs use. Put your mouse pointer on a folder and click the CENTRE mouse button and that will open a new tab with that folder in focus. Not sure if that will work for all mouses but it works for mine. Not sure how to do it on a touch screen. One of my laptops has touch so I’ll try it one day but it’s probably quicker to do it with the mouse.
