I've been experiencing an issue that has come up in these forums several times, but I'm searching for a different sort of solution to the problem. Adobe reader will frequently display blank pages when attempting to open a pdf file in IE or Firefox. This is due to acrord32.exe failing to close upon exit of a previously opened *.pdf file. Often I'll check the task manager and there are multiple instances of acrord32.exe open. There are several workarounds to this particular problem, namely taskkill it each time it happens, or set the reader to open files external from the browser, but I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a registry key for that particular setting.

This is my setup: About 800 PCs with a login script capable of pushing out registry edits when the user logs on.

This is what I want to do: Find the registry entry that specifies if the reader opens files externally or internally for IE, and set it to open all pdf files externally, then push the reghack out to every PC in the center.

I've been wracking my brains all day trying to find that registry entry, if there even is one, and would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance. :)
