Outlook Express and Explorer64

When I go to a website from an address within an Outlook Express post,
Explorer 64-bit defaults as the Browser. With the shortage of 64-bit
plug-ins, I would like Explorer 32-bit to come up as the default Browser.
Probably a short easy answer to this. Help appreciated.

Because OE is a 64-bit application, it will always call the 64-bit version
of IE.

I wouldn't say OE being 64-bit is the reason. 64-bit apps don't have any
trouble opening 32-bit ones.

But when you visit a website 32-bit ActiveX controls are not compatible with
IE6 64-bit.

For loading a dll, yes, "bitness" has to match. It doesn't matter for
executing another app.

Actually there is a point here as the EBAY website is a prime example of a
site that will not work correctly under the IE 64 bit, Due to the active x
content.

Charlie:
I never noticed that IE64 was opening and haven't had problems
opening links yet. A solution would be to open IE32 then copy the URL.

There is undoubtedly a registry entry that can be changed for those that
have problems.

Probably, but I haven't found it yet. I admit, I haven't really looked,
either. Since I think clicking on links in email is a very bad idea. Very
bad.

Correct, that's a reasonable (and FAR safer) solution. The idea of clicking
on links in email is just WRONG these days.

I am 100% with you on clicking on links in email. Great way for identity
fraud, not to mention less significant viruses, etc. I am surprised that
banks, credit cards, etc still send links.
