Adobe Acrobat & Reader Browser Add-ON

Question

Hello Forum,
I have both, the Reader and the Acrobat (Writer) installed on my system.
When I open a document im my Browser - IE - the pdf is shown within the acrobat plugin.
That means: I see a lot of buttons etc. (Acrobat specific) on the browser. So I have a lot of funcionalities etc.
But I want to open pdf documents in my browser only (and ONLY !) with the Adobe READER IE Add-ON. I just want to read the document.
Under Tools-Internetoptions-Programs-Manager_Add-Ons
the Reader plug-in *.dll file is changed to a Acrobat_Writer specific *.dll file.
If possible I want to modify this without deinstalling the Application.
I thought something like registry key modification or something like this?... Maybe another solution...
thnx a lot and peace

Particular Solution for USERS with approx. similar problems:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat hat two reg-keys:
Exe and
Distiller (If Acrobat and Reader is installed)
The entry of the Key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe is the location of the Executable, wich starts the Application is:
"C:\Progfiles\..\Adobe\Acrobat\..\Acrobat.exe" (Adobe Acrobat) I chaged this to
"C:\Progfiles\..\Adobe\reader\..\AcroRd32.exe" (Adobe Reader)
Delete the Second KEY:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Distiller
Now, it's not possile to open (with) the Acrobat. everytime the Reader opens.
Even if I try to open a pdf-document with:
right mouse-click and "Open with Adobe ACROBAT 8"
The reader opens everytime.
The only sour note:
Even the C:\..\Acrobat.exe open the Reader (C:\..\AcroRd32.exe)..
I think this is a Registry stuff, too.
