>>Thanks, unfortunately in Windows 7 the option 'Browse in same window' has been removed, so it does not work anymore. It seems to be possible by changing the registry but this is not something I can ask the clients to do, so I have to leave it the way it is. That also means I cannot expect it to work with PDF for the client either because their settings might be different than mine.

Yes, the "download" is free, but the license is not :)
