I have 32 application, which creates a shellextension tab on right clicking
any drive.
When I run this 32 bit application run in 64 bit platform under the WOW. I
am not able to see this ShellExtension API being worked. No tab is visisble.
FYI: This 32 bit app is built with VC 2003 .NET.
From MSDN, I stood that ShellExtension for 64 bit support needs native
application than 32 bit app.
Is there any way that I can use same 32 bit app make it work under 64 bit
enironmnet as well ?
It would be great if somebody can help in ressolvong this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Santosh,
To see 32-bit shell extensions you need to run 32-bit version of Explorer.
Drive_Letter :\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
895561 Some Windows Explorer extensions and some Control Panel items are
not displayed on computers that are running an x64-based version of Windows

Thanks,
