[access-uk] pDF documents in Internet Explorer

On this system activating a link to a PDF file in Internet Explorer normally 
causes it to 
download and display in Adobe Reader 7. However in the Internet section of 
Adobe Reader 
7.08 Preferences  I noticed an item "Display PDF in browser".  This is 
unchecked but it 
appears that checking it has no effect - activating PDF links on a web page 
still results in 
Adobe Reader displaying them.    Perhaps I am missing something simple here, 
but I find 
this behaviour puzzling.  I wonder what purpose the check box serves.  Any 
ideas would be 
much appreciated.

Incidentally, the latest incarnation of Webbie (3.1.2) has a new item in the 
Options menu 
(Fetch PDFs from Google).  From the manual it appears that Google stores HTML 
versions 
of many PDF documents and if available Webbie displays the HTML version in text 
form.   
Presumably these alternative versions could be displayed in IE too.
