Hi. Try downloading Adobe Reader 6.01. It's less prone to crashes, and seems, from a few tests I've done here, to leave the files alone when you click on them in the usual way in IE.

Often it seems to occur when accessing Adobe through Internet Explorer..." <snip> Yes, me too, had all the same troubles until I followed Tonia's advice on this list. Tonia's advice was along the following lines... Tips about Acrobat Reader 5. (also seems to apply to Acrobat Reader 6 ) You will find some PDF files on the web. To (directly open in Acrobat Reader,) or to download the PDF to your hard drive instead of having it open in your browser windows, run Acrobat Reader 5 (or 6) and press control K for the preferences. Arrow down to options and then tab until you find display PDF in browser and uncheck it. That way when you enter on a link for a PDF it will either open up directly in a new Acrobat Reader window, or give you a download dialog and you can save the PDF to your hard drive. Then just enter on the filename and it will open locally in Adobe Reader.... Well, that worked for me, but I guess there are hundreds of possible combinations and permutations of hardware, software and individual settings that influence and affect each and every circumstance? But, its worth a try if you,like me, really need to access PDF documents. here, I'm running XP Home, JFW5 and Acrobat Reader 6.
