I’m currently using the Start Process activity to open File Explorer at a specific file path. However, I want to open multiple tabs. Is there a way to achieve this?

@lr101,

Use Use application/Browser activity to open the File explorer.
Use Keyboard shortcut activity to open new tab using Ctrl+T
Use Type Into to navigate to desired folder

I’m not sure your purpose behind doing these operations on File Explorer but, it’s best practice to use predefined activities:

May I know what do you want to achieve?

ideally for any file related operations prefer direct backend activities rather than going with frontend automation. frontend in this scenario is not so reliable

I want to build a developer tool that opens all the applications i need at the start of the day and having the file explorer open with tabs i need would be great

Just an idea: Would PowerToys Workspaces do the job much easier?

Then try using powershell and a scheduler that would be much easier…rather than going with ui
