Hi, I'm new to this so bear with me, please.
I use a website at work where I run reports that should display in
Internet Explorer as a pdf file, but the Information Bar pops up to
say "To help protect your security, IE blocked this site from
downloading files to your computer."
I've read that the fix is to enable "automatic prompting for file
downloads" in the security settings. This, however, has no effect. I
even did a system restore to the date the PC was last rebuilt, but
also to no effect.
I'm running IE6, on XP Pro SP2 and whilst I have Acrobat 6, my
default pdf viewer is Reader 7.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I suggest you just add the site's URL to your "Trusted Sites" zone in IE -
and set the security therein to 'low'.

Do this in tools | internet options | security in IE. If it isn't an
SSL-secured site, untick the box that requires https:.
