[WEB4LIB] Acrobat opening IE

[Vermeersch, Scott M.]

Greg,

Some web plug-ins, such as Adobe Acrobat, have been hard coded to open Internet Explorer no matter what browser is set as the default. You can use ManageIE available on the TeamSoftware Solutions download page to prevent IE from opening.

We have some opac and database dedicated terminals that we don't want the public to use for general web browsing. We are using public web browser to shut down address bar, etc. but both types of terminals also require the use of adobe acrobat. The new version of acrobat comes with an advertisement button that is a link to the adobe site (top right).
Our youngest patrons quickly figured out how to use this as a hole to the greater web.

Does anyone have any idea how to shut this down?
