Is it possible to set 64 bit IE as default ?

Hi

In January, I read in some Microsoft blog about Windows Server 2003 that one
would tell later on, how to set 64 bit IE as default but still can't find
any answer on google.

Is there any simple way to do it in XP x64 edition now?

I find it useful as many craps don't work with it.

Thanks

Hide the Internet Explorer 32-bit icon, from the Desktop Display Properties
> Customize Desktop dialog. Then send a shortcut of the Internet-Explorer
64-Bit icon to the desktop and drag to it on the taskbar, then you can half
way make it your default browser.

Hello Stroppy,
There isn't an easy way to set 64-bit IE as the default.
You can use some of the suggestions that Andre makes to change some of the
default entry points.
Thanks,
