I currently have IE 6.0 SP1 and Adobe Reader 5.0
installed, and for some reason links to .pdf files won't
open - I keep getting a broken link icon. I can get
around this by clicking "save target as" but that's a
hassle.

How can I fix this? Thanks!
 
Hi,

I have seen this or a similar problem before. Assuming you are running
NT/2000/XP, try hitting CNTRL-ALT-DELETE and bringing up the task
manager. Even though you don't think you are running Acrobat at the
time, you probably are. Go to the Processes tab and kill the one that
looks like Acrobat Reader. I think they call it something like
AcrbtRd32 or something similar. After that, try opening the PDF link
again. Not sure what the real bug is, but it worked for me.
