I'm at a stand still and could really use some help if there's any one
out there with ANY ideas!

Here's what I'm trying to do:
Deploy reader 8 and turn off display PDF in Browser (however I need to
still be editable in the future - not grayed out)

Here's what I've done:
1) Installed using MST with setting checked -- it grays out the option
on the client. Delete HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Reader
\8.0\FeatureLockDown\bBrowserIntegration. This un-grays the option but
if you change it once... it's grayed out again.

2) Installed using MST without setting to disable display in browser.
After install run reg hack [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes
\Installer\Features\68AB67CA7DA73301B7448A0000000020]
"ReaderBrowserIntegration"=3D"ReaderProgramFiles"
This unchecks the box but the PDF still opens in the browser.

Is there another way to change this setting? Maybe move an API from
program files? disable plug-ins?

Please help!
