Same here. I have customized it to automatically install it according to os x32 or x64.

Although awxRename x64 works a bit weird under Win 8.1 x64, it is still very useful and I use it on a daily basis like Midas. Thanks.

FYI, I managed to install
awxRename x64 in Windows 7 without the double menu issue reported earlier -- dunno how I did it, but it is definitely possible...

Well, it looks like the
awxRename site is gone:
www.arniworld.de now gives a 403 (forbidden) error.

Very cool shell extension, Midas!
If I ever move from XYPlorer to regular Windows Explorer, this would be a great thing to add. XYPlorer has some built-in, renaming context menu options that I use quite regularly:

Yet another reason
XYplorer is one of my favorite Explorer replacements. Thanks for the info.
