Reader XI do NOT want opening FULL SCREEN!

I am running Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.2 on a Dell Windows 7 workstation with dual monitors.  We generally have a dozen applications open and we bounce all around between them.  Whenever I open a PDF document which ever monitor it was opened on last, it will open maximized on the display.  I do *NOT* want it to open maximized and I have searched high and low, tried setting Preference settings for Full Screen, Documents, everything I can find and no matter what I do, as soon as I open a PDF it's full screen.  I can get it to change how the document appears in the full screen view, like fit page or zoom to width, but it always opened FULL SCREEN!
How do I turn this feature OFF?!?!?!?!?!

I think I found the cause of the issue.  In my case, I use the Adobe Customization Wizard XI to create a transform file for installation.  One of the options I have enabled is under Direct Connect.  Under the "Property" table I have the option DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION set to YES.  I originally set this value because I didn't want PDFs to open within IE in my environment, I wanted it to open in Acrobat.  I found that in version XI, the usual place to control this setting within Acrobat was no longer there.  In previous versions, I would go to Edit > Preferences > Internet and enable/disable the option to "Display PDF in browser".
The workaround that I have done for now is create a separate transform file with the option set to NO.  I uninstall Acrobat and reinstall it with the new transform file.  To prevent PDFs from opening within IE, I have to go into Manage add-ons within IE and disable the "Adobe PDF Reader" add-on.  The problem is that disabling the add-on within IE is profile-specific, which means that if I have multiple users that share the same computer, I will have to change that setting for each user, which is a bit inconvenient.
I was hoping that this setting would be as easy as finding it in the registry somewhere and changing it there, but no such luck for me.  I looked over the registry and didn't see where the key or value was located.  Hopefully someone else with more knowledge than me can solve this puzzle.

  • On Clicking Entrance hyberlink, wanting Flash to open Full Screen

    Hi,
    Hopefully, someone can offer their expertise-
    If you go to my website "entrance" page, you will notice the
    "flash" side of my site as "Studio Entrance".
    In the html code, I would like to have the visitor to the
    site, click on "Studio Entrance" and then the flash site open FULL
    SCREEN.
    Because the images are 900x600, I need as much screen real
    estate as possible. I notice that even though some computers are
    1024x768, sometimes they have to "scroll" to the bottom of the
    flash site to see the links.
    PLEASE HELP!
    If you view the page source on the index page, you will of
    course, see the coding.
    I attempted to insert your suggestions to another user but no
    luck.
    My email address is: [email protected]
    I sincerely appreciate your help.

    The flash swf has
    'width="1000" height="700"
    You could set it to width 100%
    Has its merits and demerits. Test it on different resolutions
    and see if it
    works for you
    The flash swf file has a height of 700px. Most users will end
    up having to
    scroll. Same for the page with the pic.
    You could put the navigation links both at the top and
    bottom. Regardless
    with a height of 700px, viewers with 800x600 px resolution or
    even 1024x768
    will not see the entire flash content. Should try and not
    exceed height of
    450 px or 500px. Would also reduce the size of the file
    You cannot lose until you give up !!!

  • Since upgrade to 3.6.7 the emoticons window on a forum I use always opens full screen, not as a small window. How can I get it to open as a small screen again.

    Since upgrading to 3.6.7, when I go to a forum I'm active on and click the emoticons icon in the reply box, the emoticons window opens full screen, and not as a small screen like it did before. I can click on the box to make it small again, but next time I open it, it's back to full screen. Ok, not a major problem, but really rather annoying. I've tried to find a way to get it back to opening the way it did before, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can solve this little problem?
    == I upgraded to 3.6.7

    No-one got any ideas on this then? It's definitely a firefox problem, as when I open the forum page (mentioned in the OP) with Opera or Chrome, the emoticons window opens as a small window, same as FF used to before the upgrade.

  • Word docs don't open full screen on iBook

    My brother, up in Maine, I'm in NY, has an iBook with Word X on it. (I don't know the version of OSX he has but he probably hasn't updated it since he bought it... I am not sure of the model of his iBook either. I can find out.) His main complaint is that Word documents don't open full-screen (once he drags the window to fill the screen) upon reopening or with new blank documents.
    I am wondering if Word doesn't like certain screen resolutions. I don't know what he is using now but I have suggested he try some others. Does anyone know if Word docs won't act right under certain screen resolutions? Or if it is something else, what can we do so that docs open fully.
    He bought the Mac thinking it was easier to use but this one thing has kept him from using it at all! He is using this for his business, a used book shop, and would use Word to list books. I hope to fix this so he can see the value of the Mac.
    Cheers,
    John
    (who's been using Macs for years.)

    We really need to know which version of the OS he is using, and the iBook model would be good to know, too.
    You may want to poke around on Microsoft's Mactopia and see if there are some hints for him there.

  • How to make apps. open full screen at start up in Mavericks?

    Hi everyone,
    Last week i just bought a mac & im new to mac osx. i just wanted to know when i put some apps like calendar to start at login,i put them in full screen mode but when i restart osx, it will open in regular window not full screen,interesting thing is, some apps like mail & utorrents open full screen at start up but some apps like safari & calendar dont,
    is there any way to make any apps to open in full screen at start up or even when everytime u open app from dock. i searched google but couldnt find any real solution for this issue.
    if you help me ill be gratful,sorry for my bad eng.
    Thankx

    If you want to open all applications you want in full screen, open the apps and put them in full screen. Then, go to System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application".
    By doing this, when you reopen the apps they will open at the point where you left them when you closed them (in full screen)

  • Prevent documents opening full screen

    Is there a preference (or file) that can be set/modified to prevent all documents from opening full screen? Opening a 100x30 pixel image and have it cover my entire cinema display is not helpful. Thanks!

    - Just upgraded to CS4 on a Mac...
    - Turned off "Open new documents as tabs"... I like to have multiple files open so I can see them all at once.
    I made a big upgrade from Fireworks 8 to CS4, and what I liked about the old version was that opening a small image would open an appropriately sized window. Now, even if my file is an image that's 10px by 10px, the entire screen is covered. Actually, I just ran an experiment opening an image that is 200px by 26px. In Fireworks 8, the window opened to 331px by 282px. In CS4 Fireworks, the window opened to 1606px by 1072px. I'm forced to resize the window every time I open a file.
    Thanks!

  • I DON'T WANT SKYPE FULL SCREEN

    How do I get it off full screen!?

    I'm very disappointed -- this solution is no longer viable. I just received an e-mail from Skype (pasted below) saying that the desktop version isn't going to work anymore starting next week. I use Skype for work and often have to keep Word and Excel documents open at the same time; I downloaded the desktop version because I'm not able to do that with the silly Windows 8 app that opens full screen. I know it's not Skype's fault that Windows 8 is so horrible, but they don't need to take away the solution to the problem by deactivating the desktop version. Please don't deactivate it! Here's the e-mail I received.  
    It looks like you’ve signed into two Skype for Windows apps ‒ Skype for Windows desktop and Skype for modern Windows ‒ on your Windows 8 device.
    We’re simplifying your experience down to one app that you can use either with your mouse and keyboard or with touch. Going forward you’ll only need to use the Skype for Windows desktop app. This app has more features to help you stay connected like screen sharing and group video calling. Also, your chat conversations (from the last 30 days) and all your contacts will appear as normal.
    Note: From 7 July, 2015 you’ll no longer be able to sign into the Skype for modern Windows app.You are misreading it by 180 degrees.  It clearly states that it is the Skype for modern Windows app that is retiring not the Skype for Windows Desktop app.

  • Satellite A300 PSAG0A - Games Will Not Display in Full Screen Size

    I have a large number of games installed on my computer. At least 90% of them will not display in full screen size but display in a small window with a large amount of black screen surrounding the window. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. However, I do not think it has anything to do with Windows as my husband runs the same games on his Toshiba Satellite L300, running exactly the same version of windows, and they all display in full screen size.
    Altering the screen resolution makes no difference. And, of course, I do select the full screen option in the games.
    Also, sometimes when I have been playing a game and then closed it I find that my desktop picture has shrunk to the smaller size - the same size as the window in which the game was displayed when I was playing it.
    The games work fine in every other way, it is only this small screen size which is driving me nuts.
    I hope that someone can help me with this!!

    Yes, as far as I can tell I have the latest driver. But, even this is confusing to me because....
    My graphics media accelerator is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. The installed driver version is 7.14.10.1329. The release date for this is 2007-09-13, as far as I can tell from web searches.
    However, on the Toshiba website for driver downloads, the available driver version is 8.2.0.1012 PV. The date is 2006-12-28. I have downloaded this driver and attempted to install it. I get the message that it has been installed but, after rebooting and checking the installed driver version is still 7.14.10.1329.
    Perhaps, the 8.2.0.1012 PV version does not actually install because it is older than the currently installed version. I would have thought that the driver version with the higher number would be the newer one, but perhaps this is not the case as the dates do not seem to support this theory.
    So now I ask myself, firstly, if the driver available for download on the Toshiba website is not the newest one, then why is it there?
    Secondly, if it is the newest one then why will it not install on my computer?
