SP2-no Adobe in IE

[Jim]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

After installing SP2, now my I/E does not have capability
of opening .pdf files. This new Add on Manager does not
let me enable the Adobe, it says only the administrator
can change this, but I am the administrator. My Adobe 6.0
Reader opens fine from Desktop, and opens .pdf files that
I had saved in C directory. It does not appear to be the
Adobe, but the I/E setting. Any thoughts on how to enable
the Adobe in the I/E. please help. Microsoft SP2 Chat
was not very helpful.

Jim,

"This add-on is managed by your Administrator" message while managing an
add-on in Windows XP SP2:

Information bar appears when you open PDF files locally in Internet Explorer
(Windows XP SP2)?:

Probably has something to do with SP2 blocking Active - x controls due to
securtiy reasons.
