I use Adobe Reader 7.0.
I opened a local pdf file and then changed this setting in Reader:
Edit|Preferences|Internet Category
uncheck "Display PDF in Browser"
(I don't like PDFs opening in MSIE, either.)
Earlier versions of Reader (or whatever it was called), I had to move/delete a
..dll (the name of which no longer exists in my brain!). But that was with
version 5.x (IIRC).
