I think it is an exe which has to run in the background and
I can't download it without creating an account.

But I have looked at the Firefox shortcuts: <CTRL>-9 activates
the last tab. This doesn't work in Explorer, but <CTRL>-n
activates tab n, if it exists.

So in XMouseButton I use for Explorer:

mouse button 5: {mmb}{WAITMS:500}{CTRL}2{CTRL}3{CTRL}4
mouse button 4: {CTRL}W

The behavior of the middle mouse button hasn't changed, so
it opens the folder in a new tab but doesn't make it the
active tab. Mouse button 5 also open a new tab but makes it
the active tab (if there are not more than 4 tabs) and
mouse button 4 closes the current tab. So the behavior of
button 4 and 5 is now the same as I have it in Firefox.
