There is, and it is a similar procedure, but I can't remember the URL. If I find it, I'll post it. - -- Iron Feliks -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGPiHSIEgejQPpTu4RCkwMAJ9vEk13mXYE4ORK0QyJ69bkTkV+CACbB8bO WTI5WJiZ+mBp3Sq567MWHok= =WdvN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: How do you make IE 7 64-bit Default? Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 5/6/2007 7:30:31 PM You're correct. I have seen how to make the 64-bit IE as the default, but there also many disadvantages to it at this time. To start with Windows Update is not programmed to work in IE 64, only IE 32. Also, there are virtually no plug ins for IE 64; no Flash, no Java, no QuickTime, no ActiveX, and so on. So if you want a browser that gives you the option to use these, IE 64 won't do it!

Java and ActiveX pose an unnecessary security risk, so I feel better without them. I'm still looking for the site. - -- Iron Feliks -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGPnRWIEgejQPpTu4RCt80AJwK4TtefXF0vCPsYqdHvph+Fbc5VQCfaUyH KJSg+tJ/Chy72G2w6FmuNbM= =F4Tz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: How do you make IE 7 64-bit Default? "Tony Sperling" <tony.sperling[ at ]dbREMOVEmail.dk> 5/7/2007 7:01:23 PM Didn't it involve a Registry Key? Anyhow, I've solved this by having the Quick Launch Icon point to the 32bit and the Desktop Icon point to the 64bit version, although I'm still on IE6. Tony. . .
