really? didnt know that.... thought it was more about organisation than compatibility good to know though :)
First though on seeing program files x32 was like u said but only thing I was wondering is that I see program in p. files x64 with all elements [exe..] and same program with all elements again in p. files x86 folder and i needed to enter serial key and register both programs.
There's a 32 bit emulator on 64 bit Windows. I don't know all the ins and outs of it yet myself.. but you do find things like registry entries that get echoed in another section of the registry and other stuff so that 32 bit stuff installed will have not only the program, but the settings work.. at least for the most part. The 32 bit shell extensions are a fly in the ointment. I made a small Hotkey program to open 32 bit instances of Explorer so that you could easily access many 32 bit shell extensions, but then I see not all hard links to explorer in the SysWow64 directory are 32 bit. Baffles me but it seems like Microsoft broke their own work-around. I can't get clear info on which versions of 64 bit Windows link to 32 bit shell and which don't. It's weird.
Most of the stuff works, so there must be a reason for it. :)
