I can read PDFs with the browser if I open them in there. But as I was trying to tell the line above starts the Acrobat Reader EXE in its own window. The mechanism is probably caused by something I must have done/installed, but I don't know what. Anyway: it works just as I want although this may not be the general behaviour.
