I need to run the 32 bit version of Windows Internet Explorer 11 for a specific app. But my OS is 64 bit. How do I specifically do this? Is it even possible? Thank you!

Your OS, being a 64-bit system, is able to install and execute both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
By default, Internet Explorer is executed using its 32-bit version.
Usually, the paths of Internet Explorer are:
- 32-bit:
C:Program Files (x86)Internet Exploreriexplore.exe
- 64-bit:
C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe

@DavidPostill: doesn't work for me. Unless that setting is changed, choosing "Internet Explorer (64-bit)" launches 32-bit IE. (Actually both a 64-bit process and a 32-bit process are running, but it seems to be the 32-bit one that I'm actually interacting with. For example, without turning on that option, I couldn't use the 64-bit Java plugin.)

... and if I do turn on that setting, I get the 64-bit IE even if I launch the 32-bit one.
