    You should have both versions...

    The Internet Explorer shortcut in the Quick Launch toolbar and in the Start menu of Vista x64 will run the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer by default. Why run the 32-bit version if IE on the 64-bit version of Vista?

    There are actually two shortcuts for Internet Explorer in the "All Programs" menu. Why two and what's the difference?

    Here's the title of each and the exe's they run:

    Internet Explorer
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

    Internet Explorer (64-bit)
    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

    The first one runs IE from the "Program Files (x86)" folder, this is the 32-bit version. The second one is the 64-bit version.
