MessageThat would be "Sorin", thank you. 8-) Anyway, Ray's suggestion to use Foxit reader instead off Acrobat reader turned out pretty good, not to say awesome, as it starts a lot faster and doesn't use up so much ram either. I'm really tempted to deploy it on the domain and get rid of Acrobat once and for all... However there are bound to be some acrobat reader hard-core users, and for them your utility may be of interest.

You would replace however you launch IE with the command "LaunchIt.exe iexplore.exe". When iexplore.exe dies, it automatically kill all children (I hope that text doesn't trigger a filter). There is a command line option to warn the user before hand if you want.
