It kind of works on my Vista 64-bit system--I do not see the shell extensions in the native Windows Explorer (which is 64 bit), but I do see the shell extensions in an Explorer replacement I use (Xplorer2) that is 32-bit. I've seen other oddities in 32-bit vs. 64-bit programs--e.g. my alt tab replacement (Joe), which is 32-bit, works great with 32-bit programs but cannot remove focus from 64-bit programs (IE, Windows Explorer, etc.). Ironically, very few of the programs I use are 64-bit, so I get by with the alt tab replacement. - Stephen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

You cannot have 32-bit code and 64-bit code running in the same process. At least not with x86_64 (AFAIK). Ciao, Dscho ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Yeah it seems obvious now, but I had gotten used to 64-bit Windows being able to run 32-bit apps so seamlessly that I didn't think about it. -Geoffrey Lee ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
