Default Problem opening an Adobe PDF from the web

On the IE6 version open Windows Explorer and click Tools | Rolder Options |
File Types.
Scroll down to PDF files and uncheck "Confirm oopen after download".

IE7 is fine, it's the IE6 computer which produces the dialog box.

Two computers - one computer uses IE7, the other uses IE6 When I click
on a web link to a PDF file I get different results:

On the IE7 computer, the PDF opens normally in Adobe Acrobat 81.

But on the IE6 computer, we first get a dialog box asking if we'd
like to open or save the file. Clicking on Open causes it to do just
that.

I assumed the difference had something to do with my security settings.
But a quick comparison doesn't reveal anything obvious.


This is probably a setting inside your PDF reader, but what is the
Windows version where IE7 is giving the problem?
