I have gone to the document listed and given this a try but am having a few
problems:

(1) Instructions say open GPEDIT.MSC --- I cannot find this file (even
after doing a search)

So I tried the next step which was to make the change via the registry editor:

(2) I do not have the 'EXT' director on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and
(3) I do have 'EXT' under HKEY_CURRENT_USER but I do not have the
'RestrictToList' value listed.

I am having the same problems with adobe where I cannot open in IE6 - but
can open from saved or emailed files. And I need to be able to open in
browser.

Any help is appreciated!
