Visual Studio 2008 external tool command to open 64-bit version of RegEdit

I was trying to add an external tool command to VS2008 tools menu to open regedit in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

I can open a 32-bit version of RegEdit as such:

enter image description here

But since VS process itself is a 32-bit process what is the command to open a 64-bit version of regedit?

You'll need to write your own small app to do it for you, or simply use this one. That one can also run multiple instances of regedit which is nice. I have it in the Visual Studio external tools menu as such:

path-to-it\OpenRegedit.exe

command line for 64-bit:

-x64

or for 32-bit:

-x86
