I have noticed while using RocketDock and Launchy, that when I call up task manager throgh either program it is labeled as a 32 bit process. However, when I launch taskmanager directly from windows, it is not listed as 64bit. Can anybody explain this to me? :geek:

Is RocketDock and/or Launchy 32bit?
That would be why.

If you wanted the x64 version to launch instead, I'd assume you can change the Rocket Dock shortcut path to point to the SysWOW64 taskmgr.exe

C:\windows\SysWOW64\taskmgr.exe

If you want to have the 64bit version of Task Manager to be launched or assign a shortcut for/from a 32bit app. Use the one from "%windir%\Sysnative" Otherwise, going to "%windir%\System32" from a 32bit program will actually be going to "%windir%\SysWOW64" which is all 32bit DLLs and EXEs.
