New Macro - @ProgramFilesX86

Using a mixed environment of 32 and 64bit machines cause quite a headache when trying to determine the correct "Program Files" directory. I would like to see a new macro called @programfilesx86.

I have been using the following function to resolve the correct 32bit folder regardless of the OS's bit version.

Code:

function programfilesx86()
  $programfilesx86=iif(@onwow64,"%programfiles(x86)%","%programfiles%")
endfunction

Re: New Macro - @ProgramFilesX86

In addition to Programfilesx86, I would also like to suggest the following as new macros too...

Code:

function HKLMSoftware32
  $HKLMSoftware32="HKLM\Software" + iif(@onwow64,"\WOW6432Node","")
endfunction

function System32()
  $System32="%systemroot%\" + iif(@onwow64,"syswow64","system32") 
endfunction

It seems like I use these all the time now, when trying to work with older 32bit systems along with the newer 64bit ones.
