This is actually not a problem at all, if it happens only with c:\Windows\System32. Is that the only directory where you see this? > Do you know why this is happening? That's how 64-bit Windows behaves with all 32-bit programs. Why does it bother you? > Can I somehow tell Emacs to use the path to the 64-bit cmd.exe? What do you need that for?
