I have an incredibly weird issue. I'm unable to open PDF links via Internet Explorer [they open up blank] until I download a PDF, at which point PDF links work just fine.
After I download the PDF file, an empty folder I created 4 months ago re-appears. If I leave the downloaded PDF and old folder on my desktop, I can open PDF links without issue, however, as soon as the folder is deleted, the PDF links start opening blank again.
Any ideas?
