How to display native Windows Explorer context menu?

[MilesAhead]

I suspect what happens afa getting 64 bit OS to display the 32 bit context menu by launching a 32 bit copy of explorer, is that MS for unknown reasons have killed their own work-around. Evidently the hard link that is C:\Windows\SysWow64\explorer.exe does not always point to a 32 bit copy of explorer. Who knows why they do what they do. afaict for just launching with the selected file/folder, the easiest way is likely to just use the SendTo mechanism.

Either that or write a small AutoHotKey script that circumvents the problem by copying the file/folder names to the clipboard instead of using the context menu. When the hotkey is hit, have the script send ^c to the active window to copy selections to the clipboard. That should work the same in any OS version.
