How do I launch the 32bit client manually?

Serious question: How to launch the 32bit client manually?

I do not wish to start WoW with the client. Sometimes it is more convenient to launch it via the exe, which I mostly do. When I do so, it launches automatically the 64bit version. Regardless if I click on the right wow.exe and not the wow-64.exe.

Why is this so?

I want to launch wow in 32bit when actually clicking on wow.exe

How do I do this? Launching the client, switching to 32bit, starting the game, closing the game, closing the client, using the exe again?

That did not work. It remains 64bit. My OS is win 7 64bit. I must be able to run this game in 32bit!? How ?

Got it, will leave this thread as it is - in case someone else has trouble. Rename the wow-64.exe in wow-64_ etc. Naturally when you are on a 64bit system it launches the 64bit version all the time.

Launch the game with "-noautolaunch64bit", no need to rename files.
