VB 32-bit program in 64-bit system to appear file and registry automatic steering Solution _vb

Normally written in VB program on the 32-bit system can be normal operation, but in the 64-bit system, although it can run but cannot modify OEM information. Looking for the reason can be found, when we access the folder "SYSTEM32" when the system will automatically turn to the folder "SYSWOW64", when we access certain registry key values, and the file to turn similar, the system will automatically turn the program access to the Wow6432node below.

First to talk about the file system, looking for some information, and no VB-related data, but can find 2 related functions: Wow64disablewow64fsredirection (Turn off system steering) and wow64revertwow64fsredirection (Turn on system turn).
VB's statement is as follows:

Private Declare function Wow64revertwow64fsredirection Lib "kernel32.dll" ()
private Declare function Wow64disablewow64fsredirection Lib "Kernel32.dll" ()

Then use the call Wow64disablewow64fsredirection statement to turn off the file system.

Let's talk about the turning of the registry key:

This still does not have the VB aspect data, but knows has the function Regopenex (VB has this function, the usage see API browser) may decide whether to turn, as long as the function samdesired "long" the parameter to add 256 (& H100), you can access the 64-bit registry. Because the API access to the registry code is more than posted.
