Hi........

I'm currently running WinXP SP1 with Adobe Reader 6.0.1. I have user
permissions on the machine. The settings in Adobe reader are currently
set to display in Browser....

However when I try to open a PDF link in IE it shows a message "Could
Not Find Adobe Acrobat".... the only work around is to login as admin
and uncheck the "Display PDF in browser"

But even then it doesn't work for all machines and end up having to
save the file first then open with Adobe outside which is a
pain...........

I've read through the Forum and it seems to be similar to the problem
other users have but there doesn't seem to be a definite fix for
this......any help would be appreciated...........

You might want to check out the registry setting
HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\EXE\(Default). If this key doesn't exist
then create it. The (Default) should be a string and contains the value
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" or where ever
your reader application is located. This worked for me.
