There once was a version called x64,
And proved so popular they yelled, "Give us more!"
But the blind old king suffered from a mental stoop,
He said, "As far as I'm concerned, they can eat my..."

When I installed the 32 bit, it said there is a 64 bit....... So I rushed to here to find it.......

When I now take a look at icons, I see icons and not the grey document symbols. So that problem is gone for the 32bits version on a 64 bits Windows 7.

The thing about "column for authenticode digital signature"? How is that exactly named? There are a lots and lots of possible columns... Even three that exists of non readable characters?

It's "Signed by."

Kunkel and Nikos, thanks.

Not to press the issue regarding thumbnails (at least, as noted, .ICO work now) - but others (principally videos) "seem" relatively faster, but they certainly don't appear instantaneously as they do in Windows Explorer (ever after a restart - so the Windows cache is definitely working).

Is this the expected behaviour for x2, or at least, is anyone else seeing this under x64? It still seems to be redrawing them - albeit a "little" faster, but far from Explorer standards.

(And thanks for the no frills version.

)

Ah, scratch that. I deleted the xplorer2_UC.global\binMiscOptions key you suggested before and now it works as expected. Should everyone need to do this?

make sure this is ticked (vista icons)

Fair enough - but it's the "may crash some vistas" that could put people off. The wording has a certain charm, but if you read it with your head turned to the side and one eye closed, you kind of get the impression that if you click it you'll go blind - as the sky in front of you (a "vista") will come crashing to the ground like Chicken Little.

You might reword that one for us English types with a fear of the dark.

Fear not, O Kilmateadix! And tell VitalStatistix also to remain calm, as the sky is NOT going to fall, after all.

It does NOT say "...crash Vista..." but "...crash ON Vista..."

If we insist on correct grammar, then Nikos should use "when running on" in place of "on".

Soup?

Well, technically "crash on some vistas" means that it would potentially crash on a landscape painting by Caspar David Friedrich but perhaps not one by JMW Turner. So existentially it would depend on the molecular density of whichever sky you were viewing (one vista is different from another in more ways than one) to determine if it may fall or not. I, for one, find such a capricious relationship with nature to be somewhat disconcerting. :D

Not exactly the noun I was looking for, but as this is a family friendly prime-time show, it will have to do.
