How do I make IE open PDF inside browser and not prompt?

I am using IE 11, Adobe Reader 11.0.06.

When I try to open a PDF inside a browser window (for example this one: http://helpx.adobe.com/dk/pdf/acrobat_reference.pdf) I am prompted to Open, Save or Save As. I want open the document directly without being prompted.

How can I achieve that?

Is the Adobe Reader add-on enabled?

Yes. “Adobe PDF Reader” ActiveX object version 11.0.06.70 is activated.

I just tried it again (lauching 32-bit manually, disabling PDF add-on, closing, launching 32-bit, enabling add-on, closing, launch 32-bit). Same result I'm afraid.

If I open the Adobe Reader XI manually, and look at the preferences, the place where you would normally be able to enable/disable PDF in the browser, looks a bit different. Is this ok (see image below)?

Yes, that's the perfectly fine. Preferences with Reader 11 has changed.I am afraid the last thing we can try is resetting Internet Explorer to it's default settings.

That would clear all the history, bookmarks, favorites, and saved passwords.

Thanks,
