I remember on some previous version of Windows (XP???) you could set file associations to open a particular program and you could also specify the default action (open, edit, etc.). My problem is that after a clean install the Acrobat PDF plugin for IE11 is misbehaving itself. The add-on is there when I look through the list of all add-on, but it does not show up in the list of currently loaded add-ons. When I click on a PDF link, IE automatically downloads the file and opens it in Acrobat Pro where before it would open the PDF in a tab.
I can fix this for one session by opening the "all add-ons" view, disabling the PDF reader, and then re-enabling it. However, when I close IE and restart I am back to square one. Is there a registry entry that controls this and, if so, does anybody know which one?
