hi guys,

why is it that on my computer, when i download or open a link to a .PDF file, i have the options to either OPEN, SAVE, or CANCEL right from there. there is no need to save it to a location before i can open it...i can just open it. but on my girlfriend's computer, it only gives me the options to SAVE, or CANCEL...no open option... i must save it and then open it. it's really annoying.

it is the same version of adobe acrobat reader and i even uninstalled her version and reinstalled it again hoping that it would fix the problem. is there a patch for Internet Explorer that is causing the issue (we are both using windows XP home, IE 6). anyone have any ideas?
