XYplorer cannot open certain (X86) shortcuts

[vrtarifaachen]

This problem has been plaguing me for some time now. Doesn't happen (obviously) in Explorer or Q-Dir. They are both able to open the files fine.

File is located in the Startup folder:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup



Tried to run as admin and limited user and both don't work.


Shortcut points to: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\ONENOTE.EXE"


Tried on virgin XYplorer 17.60 install and it still doesn't work. I can launch shortcut from Explorer or Q-Dir fine.


I see this message sometimes. Any idea what's causing it or how to fix it?

OK I think I figured out why it's not running. If I remove the x86 from the program file shortcut, it runs.



EDIT: Can confirm that folder to x86 does not exit, so XYplorer is behaving "logically". Now, the puzzling thing is that Windows explorer and Q-dir run this fine even with the x86 in the shortcut.

Is this a bug in XYplorer? Is it because it's 32-bit while Onenote and Explorer are 64bit? Can it be corrected?

Thank you. That answers my questions. Support here is god-like

Better. Looking at the news it seems like god isn't that supportive after all.

Ok, I went into all of my shortcuts folders and fixed all of the entries. It works now. Very bizarre decision from MS to do this :-\

I'm just writing a FAQ article on that. You will not be the last to fall into that trap.
