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.

(OS: Win XP SP2, Python 2.4.3)
