How do I tell whether my IE is 64-bit? (For that matter, Java too?)
<p>Millions of questions already on the web about how to tell whether the OS is 64-bit, but not whether IE and/or Java runtime is 64-bit.</p>

<p>Some background:  I installed 64-bit Win 7, and IE installed automatically with it from CD; I didn't download IE.</p>

<p>I did download Java runtime.  Mouseover tips in Control Panel!Programs shows it as:
   "Java 32-bit
    Java(TM) Control Panel"</p>

<p>Then I went to <a href="http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp">http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp</a> and that page says...</p>

<p><strong>We have detected you may be viewing this page in a 32-bit browser. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers.</strong></p>

<p>But I cannot tell in the aftermath whether my Java is 64-bit.  Evidently the "Java(TM) Control Panel" is, but I don't know if that's the same as the runtime.  (I'm afraid to ask on the offical Java forums, because they're such a-holes.)</p>

<p>Also, How do I issue a command to the OS to tell whether this IE is 64-bit?  Help!About doesn't say on that.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
