hello!

opening in a browse is a different thing, what i need is openening in the
application itself. it should be like a mpeg-file ... you click on it your
viewer opens with the file. now usually i can tell a browser to do this,
but when i select "allways open with this application .." in the explorer
dialog it is deselected the next time i click on a pdf.
so if it's working for various applications/content-types (doc,xls,mpeg)
shouldn't it be working for pdf too?

regards

randolph
