No, unfortunately not.
While 32bit applications can still run in 64Bit versions of Windows, an extension for 32Bit explorer.exe can't be used with 64Bit explorer.exe

I just found this: www.jsware.net/jsware/jsfv.php5It's somehow similar to what "WebView" was on earlier versions of windows. It uses html files so at least people who are familiar with html should be able to recreate just about anything. It even works on Windows 10. BUT: It's only 32Bit. even though its a 32 bit program will it still work under 64 bit windows? I tried on my setup on 64-bit Win10 and it did not work. |

Findexer was also 32Bit only but then the developer ported it to 64Bit.
Maybe that's possible to with this webview-thing.

Could try and get in contact with the author, maybe they'd release the source code, if they still have it that is. Could be ported to x64 Windows then, ofc you'd need someone to do that. |

Unfortunately I can't do it. But maybe someone else?
All I can say is that it works fine on Win10 32Bit so if someone had the skills it should be easy to program a webview-like pane, that is actually useful.

Can't really blame them in regards to spam etc from free email providers, I guess.

Perhaps I could have mentioned this earlier but Windows 10 Control Panel has the "xp blue toolbar section in explore (kinda)" built in. Emphasis on the "kinda" part. I'm curious is we could implement this from the control panel into windows explorer by taking a part of the code within the panel and using it as a toolbar.  |

I found a way to bring back the xp web toolbar thing using findexer ok!! first. right click the blank findexer toolbar, then go into settings. go into general and make the background and hotTrack (bg) colour Red 125 Green 156 Blue 239. Then go into items and select image only. make the item size 128. then drag literally any folder or link into findexer and right click it. select edit [folder name] then tick use custom image. then set it to the ones i sent over to you! i would love to see someone try this with 9x/2k backgrounds and if nobody else does it i will  its so impractical compared to using standard folders but it looks great! Not related but what theme is that? It looks pretty good. Is it a WindowBlinds theme? |

I don't know if this fits in this thread but: In case you are using Linux, you can use MetaBar on Trinity Desktop to have similar functionality:  |

For some reason I cannot get FindeXer to work, I don't know if I have the 32 bit version but if so I cant get the 64bit version from the creators website.

A little bump but I managed to achieve this. As you can see, the only inaccuracy is the scrollbar. This is findexer.  If I can get a better solution then I will post it. What I can tell you is that I hopped on appdata > findexer and modified the XML. I firstly closed all explorer windows, then I modified the icon size and saved the file. EDIT: I just found a solution to the inaccuracy. All you gotta do is just press the scrollbar and it will disappear. |

Doing what Saturn said, you can also have a pretty accurate Windows 2000 sidebar, it obviously doesn't change according to the directory though. |

I made a AHK script that removes the scrollbar from FindeXer. Attachments:findexr.ahk (646 B)

Normally 32-bit software should work fine on 64-bit Windows, but because it runs under 64-bit explorer.exe, it needs to be 64-bit as well.

The author does have a contact page (https://www.jsware.net/jsware/contact.php5), however: View AttachmentI managed to get into contact with him. It was written in VB6 and thusly is 32 bit only. He says that the COM objects and linking from it may be useful but overall it doesn't have a lot of utility. He's posted the source code here: www.jsware.net/jsware/vbcode.php5#exp
If anyone gets it running on a newer version of windows he said he'd be interested in seeing it.
