Shell Integration - x64
« on: February 27, 2009, 10:38:05 pm »
It's not just me is it? But is there still no shell integration for x64? If so, is it on the MC road map? Or is there a work around/registry hack...  ?

Thanks confishy!

I'm now using the 32bit Windows Explorer in Vista x64 and the MC shell integration works as it should.

Apparently there is more than one way to go about doing this. One method I found involves a registry tweak:

An easier method was to create a new shortcut with the following settings.

Target: %windir%\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate, ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Start In: %windir%\syswow64\

The other settings can be left at default.
This new shortcut will open the 32bit version of explorer.exe in a seperate process, which enables all 32bit shell extensions.
