After upgrading from version 880 32-bit Public to 885 64-bit Donor Portable this method stopped working at all: https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13358
In an x64 FC there is no sysnative of course, its only needed and available on a 32bit FC.
In x64 is as simple as already said
In Favorite toolbar:
Program or folder: resmon.exe
Run: maximized

Yes, it works now, thank you; I should have read the whole topic from the beginning and not just its end. But...

1] I was under impression than 64-bit version gives access to system folders unavailable in 32-bit version

2] If also Windows Explorer on a 64-bit Windows 10 is unable to even attest to me to the existence of

C:\Windows\sysnative

folder - then how is a user of this system suppose, for whatever reason, to access it? Other than cloning the C volume to another drive and running the system of its copy, thus being able to connect the original as a non-system volume?

3] This case shows clearly that I will be unable to remember about this dichotomy - thus if I will ever go back to using daily 32-bit version I will run into the same [reversed] issue. And so: does anyone have any other idea for remembering this - aside from saving [yet another] note on my drive with install files of programs? Add and hide a Favorite Toolbar with such [for me obsolete now] cases?

There is no Sysnative dir on your disc.
Its just a virtual entry for 32bit tools on a x64 OS to enable access to the real system32 dir.
