    64 bit IE as Default?


    Running win7u 64 bit:

    How can IE 64 (rather than IE 32) be made the default browser?

    Thanks,
    James

    Welcome James

    A few thoughts about your question, and I agree:

    Thanks, Rich. Renaming the folder did it. I suppose I will have to rename back to the proper folder before allowing an update to IE, but that shouldn't be too difficult. I like 64 for various reasons, including the lack of Flash. I can always use FF if I want to view a flash site (I do know that I can turn flash off in FF with an addon, but I'm still not sure I want to use FF...I'm trying to find a browser that fits, but am still deciding).

    Thanks for your (accurate) response.
