  Preferences -> Plug-Ins), to add the path to a folder with plug-ins in Photoshop 32 bit on Windows 64 bit, you can get an error message from Photoshop that it does not know that kind of file.

  It happens if the folder has a 64 bit plugin. Photoshop 32 bit tries to upload it but can't recognize it.

  Not a big problem, but it's very irritating to get the error message each time you run Photoshop. To remove this error message just delete the 64 bit file from the folder used as the Additional Plug-ins Folder in Photoshop preferences. If you use Photoshop 32 bit you do not need 64 bit files there. -->
