    IE7 64-BIT Default

    Is there anyway to make IE7 64BIT the default browser? Thanks!

    Control Panel, Default Programs.

    You can only select "Internet Explorer" as the default browser, which
    defaults to the 32-bit version. In the start-menu there is a link for
    Internet Explorer, and Internet Explorer (64 Bit). I'm only trying to figure
    out how to make the 64bit one default so that when I open links, or listed
    in the top of the start-menu it uses 64bit.

    choose 'associate a file type or protocol. Scroll to the bottom. highlight
    the desired protocol to use, and click the 'change program' button. You
    should see both browsers.

    Nope, down in Protocols, selecting HTTP, select 'Change Progam" only one
    Internet Explorer is there.

    This app will run everything in 64 bit that you start with it.

    Path of ie32: C:\Program files(x86)\Internet Explorer
    Path of ie64: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer

    Just rename "internet explorer" folder in "Program files(x86)" and copy
    there the same one from "Program Files". If threre would be errors with
    some files it is possible to replace them too, but it seems for me the
    difference between two versions of ie is only in 3 exe files

    Open web page and look to the Task manager to ensure

    On my system works perfectly

    the icon that you click for opening the program, right click on it, properties, shortcut tab, Target: , instead of "Program Files (x86)" needs to be "Program Files"
