Advantages of 32 or 64 bit TCMD in 64 bit Windows 7

We strongly advise against using the 32-bit version of Take Command in an x64 Windows environment. It offers no advantages, and several disadvantages:
- It's 10-15% slower than the x64 version.
- You won't be able to access some Windows directories (because Windows redirects 32-bit apps to different directories), so you won't see or be able to execute some x64 apps.
- You won't be able to access some registry trees (again, because Windows is redirecting 32-bit apps to different trees).
On the topic of this redirection, when using the x64 version, is there any way to detect that this folder would have been redirected for a x86 app and display the x86 folder?
I run into the annoying situation where a x86 app refers me to a log or configuration setting or something that it sees in one directory, but I have to guess at what directory really contains the files. I'd love to invent a "cdx86" alias that would change me into the directory that a x86 app would see.
