    Hi! I have a problem. I edited the registry entries on my Win8.1/64 laptop. The new settings are there, but the new class icon and context menu options don't appear. I asked about this elsewhere, and somebody told me that Win64 has separate registry entries for 32-bit and 64-bit programs and told me how to switch the entries from a Win64 program. I need a way to do it from the RegEdt32 program. I got the entries to work before but can't remember how I did it. Can somebody help me out? BTW, here are exports for the current entries:
    --------------------------------------
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.c]
    @="cfile_"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.c\DefaultIcon]
    @="C:\\MyPrgs\\DOS\\TempC\\TempC.ico"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.c\ShellNew]
    "command"="C:\\MyPrgs\\Win32\\TempCMod1.exe %1"
    ----------------------------------------
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile_]
    @="C Module"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile_\open]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile_\open\command]
    @="notepad.exe %1"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile_\open2]
    @="Open in &Notepad++"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile_\open2\command]
    @="C:\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe %1"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile_\shell]
