IE9 will only open in 64-bit
The title pretty much says it all. Whenever I open IE, it opens in 64-bit mode. If I right click it and select 'New Tab' it will open in 32-bit. Any ideas?

Are you aware that Windows 7 64-bit gives you the choice of both versions of Internet Explorer i.e. a 32-bit and a 64-bit version?
You'll find them both under All Programs.
That's the problem, both options open 64-bit IE. Unless I right-click it on the taskbar and select 'New Tab' for example.
I'm intrigued.
I don't have an answer but would like to know how to establish which version has opened.
Well I have the 32-bit pinned and I always use it just like everyone else. But when I click it, the 64-bit version opens. I've had this happen before, it's just this time I've tried everything.
What happens if you pin the 64-bit version and do you pin to the Start Menu or the Taskbar?
I was just thinking that if you pin the 64-bit version and just use that, it won't cure the problem, but it would stop you worrying about it.
Is there any particular reason you prefer the 32-bit version other than problems with Adobe Flash on the 64-bit version of IE, which I believe Adobe have fixed now?
Oh right.
For a start my Norton toolbar and all my plugins won't work. Also I saw from benchmarks Java performance is very slow. Not sure if it would actually affect me, but...
Not sure what to suggest now then, other than disabling Internet Explorer in "Turn Windows features on or off", restarting your computer, and then re-enabling it.
Failing that, have you considered using another browser such as Chrome or Firefox?
