Explore from here power toy: hack for 32-bit and 64-bit explorer

[Guest Philip Bondi]

Hello to all:

 

The Windows 95 Explore From Here power toy works for the 64-bit

Windows explorer as downloaded from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q168113

on Windows XP x64.

 

I've hacked the EXPLORE.INF and renamed it EXPLORE-X64.INF to create a

second shell extension for the 32-bit Windows explorer.

 

I hope someone finds this useful.
