I only keep the full setup package for older versions not individual files, but I have uploaded a few older versions to the "older versions" folder of the files section. You'd have to install them to some other exe folder and look at the installed pproctx file. Do not let the install overwrite the shortcuts you use to start ppro now. The pproctx.dllnew is always the 32 bit version. The installed pproctx.dll will be the 32 bit version if and only if you are running 32 bit windows. I have other older versions in case you cannot find the version you want. Let me know approximated what version of ppro you think it might be in. I suspect the older versions of pproctx are NOT compatible with the later version of ppro, but I have never tested and I don't know for certain. "Not compatible" could mean it simply fails to work or it could main that using it crashes explorer (due to way context menus work -- the dll is called by explorer, not PPro). But I do recall that at some point a few years ago, a Windows update broke some of the interfaces in the pproctx dll and I had to redo them. I only had access to win64 for testing by that stage, so I am not surprised to hear the 32 bit version is not reliable. I'm afraid I don't think I can fix it -- this feature is too hard to test by asking someone with a 32 bit machine to help due to the way you have to implement it (again, it involves a dll called by explorer as well as tricky interprocess communication between explorer and ppro).
