Replying to my own post, I just received a reply back from the author.

Thanks for the detailed report. I'm happy to spend time and money now
to buy Windows 7 and test for possible incompatibilities. I will let
you know when I'm ready.

The only thing I know about is the not working shell-extension on 64bit
systems. You can use a GPGtools-shortcut in SendTo instead.

Hopefully, at some future date the author will update his application
and release it to the world.
