W7 X64 - how you know W7 is using WMP11x64 or WMP11x86?

Exactly. I would have just used my usual names of Capture and Capture1.

Exactly. And that is why it is the 32-bit version that is included on the taskbar and in the start menu by default.

I knew it! Someone would...
Let's see how you fare on this one! The actual clue was a slight difference in memory used when both were sitting idle!

The 32-bit version is on the right-hand image. Although you are no longer giving any clues with the image name, it still gives itself away because of the ... after the filename, which indicates that there is more information available than can fit into that column.

Can you tell this time? A clue is still there, but it is not as obvious.

These are taken with the taskmanager maximized.

You've left the same clue as before (the one on the right is the 32-bit version). What about my images?

What this thread does indicate is that it is important when looking for information, and that information is presented in columns (as is the case with Task Manager), that you resize the columns so that they show the full amount of information available in that column.

That isn't the only method however of finding out which WMP12(x86 or x64) is the default however. The properties when right clicking on the WMP seen on the Start menu clearly shows the location in the properties>target location.

However since everybody got the two tests rather easy I upped the anty a little if you notice the two WMP icons now seen on the taskbar. Can you tell which is the 32bit or the 64bit there? Have fun with that one!

With a simple right click on the wmplayer.exe in the 64bit folder you can pin that directly saving a few steps if you want that one instead. If you unpin the default 32bit you simply go back into the Start menu to repin the 32bit version even if you have to right click, choose copy, and paste the copy on the desktop first to see that dragged onto the taskbar.
