Whenever I read a pdf in my browser (was IE, now Firefox) it is always
a struggle to close it and sometimes the browser crashes and sometimes
Windows crashes and sometimes it closes OK but it *always* takes a long
time.

Now I have hit upon a reliable way to get rid of the thing quickly
without problems.

1) Start->All programs->Adobe reader 6.0
2) When it pops up, close it.
3) It gives the warning "some other program using..."

And the opened pdf (and Adobe) disappear cleanly from the browser
leaving it intact as it was before.

Cheers
Robin
