How to get Internet Explorer to ask for Open/Save

For most binary file types, Internet Explorer asks whether you want to open or save the file, and gives you a further choice of skipping that prompt in the future. Nothing I do gives me access to this prompt for PDFs and Adobe Reader. On a computer out of the box, with a fresh installed of Adobe Reader set not to open PDFs in a browser window, a click on a link to a PDF will open automatically in Adobe Reader. It will not prompt me whether I want to open or save the file.
I can edit this choice in the registry for any other type of file. For instance, if I set MP3s to open automatically in Windows Media Player when clicked, and then I change my mind, I can delete a certain key in the registry and I'll be prompted once again. This is not true for PDFs associated with Adobe Reader.
So my question is, how can I get Internet Explorer to prompt me whether I want to open or save the PDF?
I'm using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8.

From Microsoft ou will see IE is not available for the Mac:

You can try the web page in Safari (which is already installed), or
try downloading and installing firefox (download from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) or
try google chrome (https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/?brand=CHMA&utm_campaign=en&utm_so urce=en-ha-na-us-bk&utm_medium=ha)

  • How to Get Safari to STOP asking for Password

    Whenever I start up Safari for the first time, it annoyingly asks for a password, and I've dismissed this prompt without typing in any passwords, and I've been able to continue doing what I'm doing. But how do I get Safari to stop asking for a password? I've read similar posts but nothing has been asked in exactly this way, as far as I can tell. What I've done:
    - Gone into Keychain Access and deleted the only Safari-related item I find there, called "Safari Forms Autofill." This works temporarily but the password prompt comes back again, and this item appears again in Keychain Access.
    - Gone into Safari Prefs Autofill and made sure Passwords was unchecked; it was.
    Any ideas?

    Aha, I've answered my own question: You have to uncheck the "Other Forms" option in Safari Auto-Fill Prefs as well. Ho ho ho all.

  • How to get internet explorer information

    Hi all,
    I would like to get back some information regarding the WD user in the runting time, such as :
    - The version of Internet Explorer
    - The version of Windows used
    - some other somputer client information
    Kinds regards,

    Berthe,
    Such information do not exposed directly via public WD API.
    What I did in several projects when need something like this is:
    1. Create start-up servlet (packed in separate regular Web application)
    2. In servlet request handler analyze HTTP request headers and transform them to URL parameters of WD application
    3. Send redirect to browser with URL of WD application (URL contains all necessary parameters)
    4. In WD define matching parameters of start-up plug and analyze them in plug handler.

  • How to get Leopard to stop asking for password after waking from sleep mode

    My regular userid does not have a password. When I boot the system, it goes directly in without asking for password. However, when Mac wakes from sleep, it asks for password. I just press enter.
    Can I do something to make Mac skip over request for password when waking from sleep?
    Thanks.
    (The Mac is sleeping, not me.)

    Open the Security pane of System Preferences and turn that option off.

  • Where/How do I get Internet Explorer for MAC OS 10.8.2?

    Where/How do I get Internet Explorer for MAC OS 10.8.2?

    Unfortunately no, you can make a change in Safari to allow it to appear to be IE to the website but if any Windows specific services (such as Active X) are needed it still won't work.
    If you absolutely must have IE you should install Windows, preferably in a Virtual Machine, like Parallels.

  • How do I get Internet Explorer on my Macbook Pro?

    I need to get on a website for work and it can only be run through internet explorer. Trust me, I know this *****, but I don't know how to get around it. So I need to find a way to get Internet Explorer on my Macbook Pro.

    You run it through Windows or CrossOver Mac. The Mac OS X version of Windows Explorer doesn't work in 10.7 and won't be updated to do so or patch security holes.

  • How do I get internet explorer

    How do I get internet explorer for MAC.  I am only able to access a military site for work via IE.

    IE for Mac hasn't existed since OS9 days.  I think there are some browsers that will fake their identity, telling web sites that they are IE when they are really something else.  The site may then work providing it doesn't really, really need IE.  I don't have a list in front of me but browse the web for something like browser emulation (user agent).
    Here's an older tip for Safari

    how to get internet settins for i phone4

    An Apple AirPort is a router, so you're covered there. The only other device required is a modem, and there are many of them from which to choose. Does your ISP supply one, and if so, can you determine its model number?
    Modems can be purchased for $30. You first need to ask your ISP what equipment they plan to supply, if anything. Modems are commonly supplied for $0, to be returned if and when you cancel their service. Some ISPs want to supply a modem but charge you a rental fee. Whatever that fee is, it's not worth it.

  • How do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    how do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password  that I know is correct.  For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac.  I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
    I also reset my password, but the same problem occurs in iTunes.  I have to type in my password four times in iTunes to get it to work. 
    iTunes is having issues.  I can log in easily on the first attempt every time to post on this message board and I can sign in easily on my iPad 2 to get app updates, but in iTunes on my iMac it takes four attempts and then it works. 
    Apple needs to release a statement to the public telling people abut this.  For Apple to know that this iTunes problem exists and that it is causing literally thousands of people to be stressed out is callous and uncaring.

    how do i get internet explorer on my iMac

    If all you want  to do is use IE because some sites insists on it then what is suggested above may work, i.e, change the user agent to make the site think you are using IE.  Most browsers support that feature either directly as in Safari or with add-on/extensions.  The only things that may go wrong is some drawing or a few other things may not work properly  if the site uses some non-standard IE-only html conventions.  My opinion of that is if a web site is going to take that kind of windows-centric attitude in this day and age of multiple browsers then screw 'em.
