Thinwin is not working with 64bit OS. Shell is still "explorer.exe" even if set to ThinWin

ThinWin writes to the wrong registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Should not be Wow6432Node, but 64bit key HKLM\Software\Microsoft...

Workaround:
Create a registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell REG_SZ <path-to-thinwin>\thinwin.exe</path-to-thinwin>

Will be fixed in next release
