  Long time user, 1st time caller dealing with a new PC setup w/QAP v11.6.1.5 on Win11
  I have read these forums, searching etc & cannot locate my error
  I just want QAP to NOT open when I middle-click a tab in Windows Explorer
  I have gone into the popup menu options & tried blocking (w/out success):
  
  Cabinet­WClass explorer.exe
  Explorer­WClass
  explorer.exe
  
  If it makes any difference, I also noticed in those options that switching focus from "Blocked" to "Approved" does not change the programs listed there
  
  Can anyone point me in the right direction?
  Thanks

  Hi and welcome to the forum,
  
  Were you able to exclude Windows Explorer on your previous system?
  
  It was never asked to exclude Explorer before. In my today's test, it is not excluded and I don't think it was ever possible.
  
  Can I ask why you want to exclude Explorer?

  The "Blocked" and "Approved" buttons just change the behavior of QAP with the list of widows. There is only one list of applications approved or blocked.

  Yes - at least I think so - this is for Windows File Explorer

  I work heavily within tabs there & want the middle-click button that QAP normally uses to close the tab instead - as it does in Chrome, etc
  It's not a big deal as I can change my workflow. I just thought it had that functionality previously?

  Anyone else have done that before? I'm curious.

  You could also change the mouse button used to open the QAP menu. For example, "Wheel Right" is very convenient... unless you often use this button to scroll right.
