Hi,

I have a 32-bit application which calls Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection
first, then call GetOpenFileName to show a common file dialog, and
GetOpenFileName fails on 64-bit Vista (RTM). If I remove the call to
Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection, GetOpenFileName shows file open dialog fine,
but system32 was redirected syswow64 folder.

Does there anybody know how to turn off Wow64 file redirection on common
file dialogs for 32-bit applications?

Thanks.

Thanks, the PDF describes the situation that I tried to avoid: is that
possible for the 32-bit version of notepad.exe save a file into the real
system32 folder?

With my test, if I disable Wow64 file redirection in 32-bit application,
GetOpenFileName/GetSaveFileName fails with no error (even
CommDlgExtendedError() returns 0 which is generic error).

I just didn't get it why common file dialogs fail if file redirection was
disabled.
