Can I uninstall or override the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer, so that it won't get activated as the default browser?
I would like to leave the 32-bit version installed.
Answer
Unless you made some changes to your system, Internet Explorer 32-bit should be the default browser.
I'm not sure what Windows version you're running, but in Windows 7 64-bit, by default, IE8 32-bit automatically runs when you start the browser from any one of the following locations:
- The Quick Launch toolbar
- The desktop
- The Start menu
- A hyperlink or a file type that is associated with Internet Explorer
If you want to see which version is currently running, check the Help -> About Internet Explorer window. The 64-bit version will note that it's the 64-bit version.
If you truly want to uninstall Internet Explorer, you'll have to remove both versions following these steps from Microsoft.
