Here's an excerpt from the policy that I use to give users access to the
full version of Adobe 6.0.  All settings go under HKCU.  I believe the one
that refers to the .OCX file is what controls IE.

Subject: [THIN] Get IE to use Acrobat Reader Plugin



Hi 

W2K/SP4 
IE6 with actual Patches 
MF PS 3.0 
Acrobat Reader V5 
Acrobat Full Product V5 

some of the users only have access to the Reader (AcroRd.exe) and other to
the full product (acrobat.exe). I succesfully managed with help of
respective reg-files to redirect users based on group membership to have
either the AcroReader or the full version open up when double clicking a pdf
file.

What regkey do I have to change to have the same behaviour when opening pdf
files from within the internet explorer? Can someone give me a hint on this?

All your input is appreciated very much 

Peter
