Post subject: 2003 64-bit & 32-bit application desktop icons?
I currently run 2 32-bit terminal servers doing network load balancing. Due to application memory constraints, I can only have about 150-200 users at any given time. With the advent of (relatively) inexpensive servers with quad-core xeons & memory, I created a 3rd server to test 64-bit terminal services and see if that would benefit us at all.

My problem is, the desktop icons for outlook 2000 and another 32-bit application we use (synapse, a radiology PACS viewer), do not show up when I log in as a user. I installed office 2000 with the termsrvr.mst after running chgusr /install, and installed the synapse application as normal, however neither icon appears anywhere except where I installed it.

I think it has something to do with the explorer namespace entries, but I'm not sure.

Anyone know about this or have any ideas?

I finally found a sort of kluge solution. The outlook icon was sort of a non-issue since there's regular icons for it.

I found out how to create a shortcut to 32-bit explorer and open a namespace, so I created a shortcut to "%windir%\SysWOW64\explorer.exe /n,/separate,::{GUID}" where GUID is replaced with the extension id in the registry, however now I get a "Proxy Desktop: explorer.exe - Application Error" whenever I close the app. If I can figure out how to stop that message everything will be good.

Minor update: I may have solved that too. I created a copy of the 32-bit explorer.exe called explorer32.exe and changed the above shortcut. Now I'm not getting the error.
