IE 64-bit became default

I'm not sure how but my IE7 64-bit browser is now the default browser
launched by clicking links in Outlook (2003-SP3). I would prefer that it
launch the 32-bit browser but haven't been able to find out how to do this.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Drew

Re: IE 64-bit became default

Sorry Carlos, it's XP x64. Your link worked for me, for Outlook links, but
broke opening links from OE which used to open in 64-bit IE by default.
Adding the path to the 64-bit IE to the environment didn't help. I still
don't know what caused this but would like to get it back to normal, 32-bit
for Outlook and 64-bit (or 32-bit) for OE.

Thanks,
Drew

I have a separate Icon for 32 bit and 64 bit. They ARE separate programs.

I do this too, works for me but that will not change the 'click-default' in
app's. I assume there has to be something somewhere in the Registry to let
you do this, unless you are bold and loves searching I would check the
[public registry] NG's. At least if you are on a Newsreader.
