Make Internet Explorer 64-bit the default?

Hey everyone. On my start menu I have Internet Explorer, then Internet Explorer 64-bit. If I launch IE by using the default browser, where you click start and the top option is Internet, it runs the 32 bit version. If I click Start, all programs, then I can do the 64 bit version. How can I make it so the 64 bit is the default?

Good question I use the start function as well. I wonder what is the difference or advantage between the 2?

Don't do it. Very few places can recognize the 64 bit version of Explorer INCLUDING Microsoft itself. If you reply to an email from their technical support it will bounce back as undeliverable, reason: cannot read 64 bit IE. Also, most if not all the current plug ins are not in a 64 bit version.

Check the internet explorer folder in your program files.
