for 64 bit users a solution
Thursday, August 17, 2006 by buhboabla | Discussion: ObjectDock
hello everyone
i don't know if this is the right place to post this or not
anyway
i just got objectdock and i have 64bit windows i searched here but i couldn't find a way to make the taskbar and tray tabs work
here's a tip to make them work i don't know if it's safe or not so do it at ur own risk
replace the original 64bit explorer.exe at maybe C:\64BIT\ by the 32bit explorer at C:\64BIT\SysWOW64 and that's it
back up the original explorer though it's already in dllcache folder
and if u still don't know how to change those files u should open the task manager and close explorer.exe in the processes tab and then go to the applications tab click on new task then browse replace the file and run it that's all
as i said do it at ur own risk i just tried it and it worked i don't know if it has any down sides but i like it so i'm keeping it coz i don't think it'll break my computer
enjoy

I would advise against doing this.
Be aware that some applications may detect the OS is 64 bit and so install 64 bit shell helper files. By switching to a 32 bit explorer, those addins will fail to work.
