XYplorer Beta Club

Hi there,

I'm a new XYplorer user, as of about 20 minute ago, so far so good (second post). Although I am having one issue, which I wonder if anyone can help with. I am a Carbonite subscriber (online backup) and explorer shows the icon overlays fine however XYplorer doesn't. I have the relevant option selected in Configuration and can see my TortoiseSVN icon overlays however I can't see the Carbonite ones. I am running Win 7 x64 Ultimate and Carbonite is a x32 application so I don't imagine it is a problem with x64 shell extensions. Can anyone point me towards a solution for this? I've searched the forums and it seems like no one has mentioned Carbonite before! I guess there is a first time for anything.

Looking forward to hanging out with you guys,


Ach

The most recent bug thread on the subj ... =4989]here.

One possibility is that Carbonite, despite being a 32-bit application, only installs a 64-bit shell extension; its logic being, that only 64-bit Windows Explorer or other 64-bit file managers will be used on 64-bit Windows. I know of UltraEdit, a 32-bit text editor, and Avira AntiVir, a security package with a single install package for both 32- as well as 64-bit Windows, who both only install their 64-bit extension despite having the 32-bit one available in their install package.

Given the above, are you sure Carbonite has installed a 32-bit shell extension? Sysinternals' Autoruns amongst other utilities, should be able to tell you this.

I've checked in a couple of ways and it appears that it is a x32 extension. I'll read the other thread when I have a few minutes...thanks for the help.
