MarkFilipak,
Nope.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

** Partly solved **

Should I uninstall the 32-bit version??

** My 'Classic Start Menu' launcher pointed to 'TOTALCMD64.EXE', but 'c:\Users\mark\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Total Commander.lnk' pointed to 'TOTALCMD.EXE'. The result: Launching TC ran the 64-bit version, but Windows Start ran the 32-bit version.

Both versions are in the 'C:\totalcmd\' folder. Is that normal?

If Windows Start failed to launch TC, then I would have seen (and fixed) the problem on my next boot. But the problem was hidden by the (erroneous) presence of the 32-bit version.

Should I uninstall the 32-bit version?

Thanks,
Mark.

Sorry Roman,

Our posts "passed in the night". ...I have no problem, eh? What about just uninstalling the 32-bit version?

Regards,
Mark.

MarkFilipak,
Worked fine when I tried in a virtual machine and let the uninstaller keep the configuration files. Perhaps make a backup first.

Roman,

Thanks for the help you give to users.

I understand there's no problem ...well, not a program-function problem...

Can I simply delete 'TOTALCMD.EXE'? Do you see any problem there? Any dependency on 32-bit code?
...Note: I'd simply try deleting the 32-bit application and see what happens, but I'm loathe (fearful) to break TC.

My pleasure. :)

Yes you can, but I guess uninstalling the 32-bit version would also remove any other 32-bit files (if any).
