I get this popup every time I open a PDF file. It just started by itself. I
uncheck the
"Always ask before opening this type of file" box every time but it does no
good. Help!!

You'll need to have administrator privileges in order to change that.

I am using XP Pro, I have Admin privilege. This answer is for Vista. Any
suggestions for fixing this problem in XP?

It's the same for Windows XP but then you already need to login as the
administrator.
In XP you can also change it by modifying the option via
Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types-> select pdf-> button
Advanced...-> disable option: Confirm open after download

Thanks I did what you said to PDX file ext, but it worked! There was no PDF
in list so I added it as "NEW" but there was no "ADVANCED" box for it.

If it's not there, it means your PDF viewer application is not installed
correctly. I recommend you reinstall the latest version of Adobe Reader.
