[WEB4LIB] Adobe Acrobat Reader on Public PCs

[Tai Kenison]

See if they can access PDF's on diskettes within IE by entering "A:\filename.pdf" from the browser's address line (without the " " of course)

Currently, we let patrons use Adobe Acrobat Reader on public PCs running 
from within Internet Explorer. In the past year, we have been getting 
requests from patrons to run it as a stand-alone application so that 
they can easily open PDF files from diskettes.

Do any of you let patrons use Acrobat Reader as an application? How do 
you lock it down?

FYI, we currently use WinSelect to lock down IE and NTFS file 
permissions and policies to lock down Office.

Thanks! Donna
