32-bit apps CAN access \system32 folder in Vista x64

[Guest Carlos]

I know this is going to open a debate here.

A couple of posts ago I stated that the 32-bit file manager ZtreeWin could

access the real \system32 folder without being redirected (fooled) to the

\syswow64 one.

As I had no technical proof, except for the practical one of using and

testing it, I checked my old e-mails and found the ones I exchanged with the

ZtreeWin programmer (Kim Henkel).

The method is well described by Microsoft here, including an example of a

32-bit app launching the 64-bit Notepad.exe
