LR to CS5 32 bit Question

[EMA747]

I have a 64 bit system so seem to have both 32 and 64 bit versions of CS5 installed. My plug-ins like Nik Software only seem to run in 32bit CS5.

My question is this - When I hit Ctrl+E in LR to open the file in CS5 it always opens the 64 bit CS5 so the plug-ins don't work. How to I make LR always open the 32 bit CS5 when I hit Ctrl+E?

I just can't find anything in the LR menues.

Possible solutions -

Keep 32-bit PS open and LR wil use it.
Add the 32-bit version as an 'Additional External Editor'
Use the registry edit here.
