Determining Internet Explorer Bitness: 32-bit or 64-bit

Method #1:
Put the call in the IE console: (F12 to open)

> alert(window.navigator.cpuClass);

Method #2:
javascript: alert(window.navigator.cpuClass);


N.B.: Didn't work for my IE 11.0.9600



Result:

x86 --> You are using 32-bit of Internet Explorer
x64 --> You are using 64-bit of Internet Explorer

Changing Chrome Internet connectivity settings on Windows: Internet Options

Fortunately, it is using the Operating System Internet Options dialog which typically can be easily displayed from Internet Explorer.

I problem which might have kept me overnight in the office!!!

Windows Server 2008 R2

Cause:

Trying to share the root web folder.

Problem:

Server Error

500 - Internal server error.

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

Trials:

- Removing the share.

- Deleting the Temporary ASP.NET files

- Restating the  IIS

Workaround:

1 - Creating a new web root folder and moving all  the application folders to this new folder.

2 - Configuring all the application folders to point to the new folder.

Tip: Opening Internet Properties without opening Internet Explorer

Although the Internet Options dialogue box appears as a implicit component within the Internet Explorer, it can be called separately without the need even to open the browser. This is very helpful especially if you are using a laptop like me, and within the office you need to enable  the proxy settings and to disable it every time you are out of the office. Moreover, knowing that most other applications read from that place for the proxy settings, it appears to me as a very handy shortcut.
