Copy & Paste (to sytem32 dir) issue on WinXP/Vista x64

[sangwooksohn]

With 'x64DisableRedirection=1' entry under [Configuration] in 'wincmd.ini', TC7pb2 can have direct access to "%SystemRoot%\system32\" directory instead of being redirected to "%SystemRoot%\SysWow64\" directory in Windows XP/Vista x64 Edition.

However, when copying certain file(s) to "%SystemRoot%\system32\" directory fails in certain circumstance.


Let's say that I have "%SystemRoot%\system32\" directory shown on right window of TC set 'All File Details' view mode.

There are four general ways to copy certain file(s) to "%SystemRoot%\system32\" directory in (right windows of) TC.

1. Drag certain file(s) from the left window of TC and drop into the right window of TC. <-- Success

2. Select certain files(s) from the left window of TC and press "Ctrl+C" to copy then select the right window of TC and press "Ctrl+V" to paste it(them). <-- Success

3. Drag certain file(s) from the Windows Explorer (outside of TC) and drop into right window of TC. <-- Success

4. Select certain files(s) from the Windows Explorer (outside of TC) and press "Ctrl+C" to copy then select the right window of TC and press "Ctrl+V" to paste it(them). <-- FAILED (File(s) are copied into "%SystemRoot%\SysWow64\" directory).

Thanks.

That's strange, 2 and 4 use the EXACT SAME paste function. Are you sure that it works in case 2 and fails in case 4?

I confirm this under WinXP x64. Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V from one panel of TC into another works fine, while Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V from Explorer into TC does not work (copies the file into SysWOW64).

I can only guess that Windows is creating a separate thread for copying in this case, but doesn't call the redirection functions.

If this is the case, there is really nothing I can do about it.

FYI, I simply call GetUIObjectOf for the current folder to get the IContextMenu interface, and then call InvokeCommand with the "paste" verb. The rest is done by Windows...
