"The following example uses Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection to disable file 
system redirection so that a 32-bit application that is running under WOW64 can 
open the 64-bit version of Notepad.exe in %systemroot%\System32 instead of being 
redirected to the 32-bit version in %systemroot%\SysWOW64."

Urmmmm, the 64-bit version of Notepad.exe is in %systemroot%\System32 and the 
32-bit version is in %systemroot%\SysWOW64? Isn't that kind of backwards, or am 
I missing something?
