[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4531825, member: 70778"] SAdly the defualt settings have nothing to do with normal, but just factory defaults, and the way the company making the product wants you to use their software. Also not everyone uses Abode Acrobat to read PDFs, which can mean problems for sites that assume that people intend to open the file in their browser like DDI rather than saving them as you later state asp being a problem. There are too many people on the internet to try to tell everyone every exact setting to set any program to to make sure everything works, and do it for free. It is great to be able to help, but there is just too many conflicting settings and personal preferences to deal with that no one knows how someone els'es computer works. Thus why I call it babysitting rather than just helping, because you can't sit behind their computer for everyone and make it work as good as that may be if you could. Sometimes people jsut have to learn a few things on thier own outside of the norm. Thus I present the most common fixes for things. Like most people don't even know there is a setting to disable the shell or browser extentions for things, or to set them to prompt for action, or don't want to be bother by being prompted then complain later when they aren't given a choice......There are just too many people that want their cake and to eat it to without having to do any work for it. I prompt for all cookies. It is annoying, but I avoid ones that are not needed BY ME. So the end results is the DDI method is not the best or even good, it is bordering on banking security for information that is not something that eneds to be that secure and detracting from the use and purchase of the product. DDI is filled with those bad decisions, but this one is just a struggle with futility since it is causing so many problems, then need to follow the proper computer methods like KISS. [/QUOTE]
