How to control Task Bar content with Drop Down Boxes on my FP2003

[norm]

My winxp laptop and desktop work differently in this regard. The laptop: I
select an item from a Drop Down Box and hit GO | my pdf file opens | The Back
tab is dimmed so I Close | and my Home page (from the Task Bar) displays just
as it should.

On my desktop: When I hit GO the URL for my site dissapears from the Task
Bar, so after I view my pdf file, there is no way to go back to my Home page
without closing out to my desktop and re-opening my site.

Use your Browsers backbutton to go back to your site or set The Desktop
up like the laptop not to open pdf files in the browser.

1. I also have a drop down box on the site that links to htm files and it
works/doesn't work the same way as the drop down box that links to .pdf
files.
2. My Browser backbutton is dimmed (on both computers).
3. Where are the properties that allow you to "set The Desktop

up like the laptop not to open pdf files in the browser."

Many thanks for your help.

My problem better stated: In drop down boxes, selected links fail to open in
a new window on my desktop, but do open in a new window on my laptop.

In Acrobat Reader you can set it to not open pdf files in IE.

I found the answer. The Yahoo pop-up blocker was on!
Damn!
Thanks for your assistance.
