Answer : Control Acrobat Reader via GPO

Hi
You could try a custom administrative template as the settings for controlling acrobat reader aren't available via group policy by default. To create a custom template, copy and paste the following into a blank notepad document.

CLASS MACHINE

  CATEGORY "Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0"

  POLICY "Disable Browser Integration"
    KEYNAME "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\AdobeViewer"
    EXPLAIN "Setting this policy disables Browser integration"
      VALUENAME "BrowserIntegration"
      VALUEON NUMERIC 1
      VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
  END POLICY

  END CATEGORY

Save the file as say, adobe.adm - note you need the adm file extension. Copy the adm file into the relevant folder for policy templates usually the inf folder in %systemroot% ie C:\winnt\inf.

Next open your policy editor, expand the tree for the relevant gpo - right-click the folder "administrative templates" in computer configuration and select add/remove templates. Add the new adm file that you just created. In order to see the policy within the policy editor you'll need to do the following:

1.Highlight the Administrative Templates node for which you want to see preferences.
2.On the View menu, click Filtering, and then clear the "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed" check box.

You should now be able to view the policy you just created and turn the browser integration setting on or off,

Hope that helps,
