What's the exact message?

"adobe reader is not able to open the file in protected mode system configuration. Open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?"

and the choice are:
- open with protect mode disable
- open always
Collapse | Copy Code
with protect mode disable - not open

I hope it is correct because the message is in italian. I have a vb6 application (not mine) that open this file without ask this.

thank you
