[SOLVED] ProcessName.exe *32 - what does *32 indicate?

[gopalpatil]

Hello,
I am using WinXP 64 bit version.
When i see in Task Manager->Processes Tab, some processes name includes ' ..*.32' (e.g. iexplorer.exe *32).
What does it mean *32?

Thanks,
GP.

probably the processes that only using the 32 bit side.
Some dont have specific 64bit programs.

I thought so Paddy, but i am not sure. I need technically perfect answer that would help me out in my work.

in my honest opinion i say its a 32bit application, as ive not seen 64bit IE.
Thats my technical answer lol, its a 32 bit application running in a 64bit environment

It means it's a 32 bit application running under WOW on a 64bit OS.
