Windows 7 2 program file folders

[dido41]

I had win7 32 bit installed. then wanted to try the 64 bit. I now have 2 Program File-folders 1 called
Program File the other Program File (x86) and it seems that everthing I install is going into the (x86) folder.
is this normal?

x86 is just that - for 32bit programs you install. If you install any which are recognised as 64bit, they will automatically be placed in the alternative folder It is not a user controlled function so don't worry too much about it.

Thanks. I was not sure as to delete it or not. that would have screwed things up a bit.
