Software Deployment

Hi all,

I've seen lots of usefull tweaks for the Adobe Reader installation. A particular issue we're facing is the Rsync Path Sanitation Vulnerability. To mitigate this vulnerability we need to reconfigure all our clients to not open the PDF in the browser anymore.

I've found some registry keys to perform this action unattended (see below). However, when the application opens, a message is displayed: "You cannot currently ciew Adobe PDF files from within your web browser due to a configuration problem. WOuld you like Acrobat to fix the configuration?"

Can anyone point me in the right direction, plz?

Appreciate the help.
Martyn
