Greetings Magnus - I'm a registered user.  Did you ever incorporate support for the explorer shell extension in 64 bit windows?

I have a new computer and was able to install and register 3.5b22 (by setting the date back, etc.) but now I remember why I stayed with 32 bit windows on my previous machine!

Repeating my offer from about 4 years ago, I'm more than  willing to purchase a new copy (even two) of the program to get this feature - addictions are hard to break.

Best wishes, Steve Sobel

ps - if anyone is aware of a workaround for this, please let me know!

Sorry, no 64-bit version yet.

Here is a workaround though:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/895561

Short version:

Start the old 32-bit Explorer with the following command-line, and it should show the Mp3/Tag Studio shell extension as usual:

C:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate

(the path to your Windows folder might vary, but the rest should be the same though)

A second workaround, even though I haven't tried it myself and can NOT make any promises or guarantees about it, is this utility:

http://www.gasanov.net/WOW64Menu.asp

It lets you load 32-bit shell extensions in the 64-bit Explorer.
