  Depends on what opener application is associated for the mime-type returned from the server from the link in the email.

  additionally x64 desktop applications will call the x64 helper program if installed.

  Hi,

   

  Thanks for the post!

  By default, the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer runs when you start the browser from any one of the following locations:

  1. The desktop
  2. The Start menu
  3. A hyperlink or a file type that is associated with Internet Explorer

  But sometimes, a hyperlink may start a 64-bit version of IE, because the lack of most recent security update for windows internet explorer.

  The following KBs may help you:

  A hyperlink that is specified to open in a 32-bit instance of Internet Explorer 8 opens in a 64-bit instance of Internet Explorer 8

  A hyperlink in a 64-bit application starts a 64-bit version of Internet Explorer 8
