No need to be a jerk. You can open the batch file and see exactly how its trying to get admin, it just writes a temporary vbs script to run ShellExecute and call UAC. As far as I know, this should not be affected by the bit-depth of the system. Third party file explorers are likely not in the scope of support for this, especially considering the already stressed amount of support the project gets.
