Explorer Context Menu

I am running Vista U x64 and have installed a number of programs, such as
WinZip, etc. that displayed options on the context menu under XP. I would
like these same context menu items to be exposed under Vista. I assume
there must be a registry subtree I can export, modify and reimport, but
don't know where this is and did not find anything using google. Any input?

Thanks,
Tony

Just like the requirement for x64 drivers is enforced, so to is the
requirement for Explorer extensions. They must be x64, or they won't
work.

They are there, but will only be accessible from a 32-Bit process.

To get the full context menus in both 32-Bit and 64-Bit programs,
you'll need to get a new version of WinZip. WinZip 11.x supports x64
Explorer context menus: 'WinZip® - The Zip File Utility for Windows -
Zip/Unzip, Encrypt/Decrypt' (http://www.winzip.com)

You must be running an old version of WinZip on Vista x64, because the
latest version of WinZip (version 11) supports right click menu contextual
items. The only work around I can suggest is upgrading the latest version of
WinZip or try alternatives such as WinRAR or 7-Zip:
'7-Zip' (http://www.7-zip.org/)

Thanks for the feedback. I guess since 32 bit programs run fine under Vista
64, I didn't think that explorer extensions would be an issue. Anyway, I
will both check out those upgrade possibilities and keep searching.

Thanks!
Tony
