It kind of works on my Vista 64-bit system--I do not see the shell extensions in the native Windows Explorer (which is 64 bit), but I do see the shell extensions in an Explorer replacement I use (Xplorer2) that is 32-bit.

I've seen other oddities in 32-bit vs. 64-bit programs--e.g. my alt tab replacement (Joe), which is 32-bit, works great with 32-bit programs but cannot remove focus from 64-bit programs (IE, Windows Explorer, etc.). Ironically, very few of the programs I use are 64-bit, so I get by with the alt tab replacement.
