How do I make IE 7 64 bit my default browers in Vista 64 bit?

THKS


I suspect that is what it should be by default.

Have you done something which would change it
that you are now not sure of how to undo?

Otherwise what are you seeing that makes you think it isn't 64-bit now?
E.g. what does IE's Help, About show?


BTW this is not really the right newsgroup for asking this question.

No 32bit is the default, I was looking around and saw an IE labeled IE
64bit. I was using it, until I found the Adobe flash problem, which is why
I'm guessing it's not the default.

Easy way to know which one you are running, the program path to the 32bit
one is on the x86 folder and so if you look at the shortcut properties for
the IE you are using it will say

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
or
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

If you want to be really sure, go to Adobe's website, choose to install the
adboe flash player. If it's the 64bit browser it will tell you that 64bit
browser isn't supported

Also, if you open up taskmanger and sort on name, you'll most likely see
iexplorer*32, if you don't then it's the 64bit flavor
 
it seems to me that IE7 64bits version seem to perform better or faster in
term of rendering the webpage. it's only downfall is not flash support. If
there are 64bit flash will definitely make it my default IE.

no 64 bit FLASH yet.
there are other problems with making 64 bit IE as default as flash is not the only thing that is not compatible.
