This is not Vista specific. The effect you're seeing is a result of the path redirection for 32 bit processes on a 64 bit system. The system32 folder is invisible to 32 bit processes. If they try to access that folder, they get redirected to the syswow64 folder, which is the folder containing the 32 bit DLLs and 32 bit executables which are in system32 on 32 bit systems. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384187(VS.85).aspx Note especially the last paragraph, which describes how you can access the system32 folder from 32 bit processes using the %windir%\Sysnative substitute starting with Vista.
