I have 2 Program Files folders, with and without the designation
(x86). What's the difference. Everything seems to work in either location. I'd prefer things simple and to have only 1.

He doesn't understand that these folders exist for the convenience of developers. It's got nothing to do with what the user wants. If a person wants "one folder", then install the 32 bit version of the OS. Solved. Paul
