Fix for 64bit Explorer Context Menu in XYplorer

[rgs]

This is a good workaround, thanks for posting the instructions. It means I can use XY again with Win 7 64-bit. I need my context menu!

Is it possible to have this more closely integrated into XY though? It's clunky having to use so many mouse clicks to get to the 64-bit menu. Ideally it would be part of the initial right-click menu, but that's probably not possible. What about as a drop-down from the initial right-click menu? It's still a little bit ugly but it would do until a proper solution can be found.

Nope.

any updated ETA on when 64 bit XY will come? anytime in 2013?

Just want to confirm that this work-around works. Kudos to Feature Creep for the good trick
Also, it seems that this only works if Cautomaton is put in a directory where there's no UAC control. It doesn't work if I put it in Program Files, but it does in Desktop.

I used XYplorer back in the XP days but abandoned it because of the 64-bit context menu issue. But now thanks to this, I can use Xyplorer again (kudos to the author for a very nice and powerful app )

Great to hear that!

I assume you have the Visual C++ runtimes in your system?

Hi there, This is a great fix for the 64-bit context menu but, like Joe K, I have a problem with selecting multiple files and only one being recognised. I have Foxit PhantomPDF installed and it has a context menu entry to "Combine supported files in Foxit PhantomPDF...". I've tried the workaround suggested by Joe K but it still doesn't work. Cheers.
