Yes, Kim, I have tried it. :( The problem is that explorer.exe, and thus the desktop and task bar are 64 bit. You can't use a 32-bit extension to a 64-bit app -- 64-bit apps can't call 32-bit dlls, and 32-bit apps can't call 64-bit dlls. So even if the hooks are there, they're 64-bit hooks, and can't talk to the 32-bit DQSD. If DQSD were a standalone app, it would work. As you say, the vast majority of 32-bit applications work just fine.
There's a known workaround for context menu extensions (right mouse click stuff like WinZIP) that allows one to run the 32-bit explorer.exe, but it doesn't replace your desktop, only opens a separate window for Windows Explorer that runs in the WOW64 subsystem (the 32-bit subsystem, IOW). If you need references/pointers to appropriate developer level docs, I can probably help, but I am NOT a developer, though I have written C code when I absolutely had to. But it was a long, long time ago.
