I was once told by a dude who worked with AOL and pioneered the 'gif' format
that monitors can't read beyond 75 dpi so take raw image hit ctrl > i >i,
change the dpi. Notice the dimensions change. Change the values to what you
want as long as they're not bigger than from where you started and
'constrain proportions' is checked, obviously.

That was 'true' eons ago when monitor technology was in its infancy.

Current monitors can easily go to 1600 x 1200, that being [on a 19" -
displayable at 18"] some 110 dpi.

As far as bothering to change the dpi setting, why?

Monitors read PIXELS not dpi !!!

I can set an image to 1 dpi and to 10,000 dpi image, put them up side by
side on the web and they will be exactly the same - unless I've resampled!

Look at the Bridge Preferences.
It has a checkbox that is supposed to allow you to automatically open tif
and jpegs in the raw converter always or on the desktop always.
However it is Bridge and as such has never worked as it should for many
users, moi included.
One of many bugs in Bridges that have existed since version one and which
Adobe denies exists, or at least does not bother to fix.
Another annoying bug is the failure of Bridge to remember custom desktop
settings from session to session although those custom desktops are listed
as created in Bridge you painstaking customizations can be randomly erased
from session to session no matter how often you save them.
Look up how to reset Bridge to its default settings when you first start the
problem (you have to do some of this work yourself).
Then set the Bridge preferences how you like.
If you are lucky Bridge will work properly. If Bridge does not work properly
for you you are SOL per Adobe and they could care less that their $700
retail flagship program is a coding and design mess--why does the ACR exist
apart from the desktop and have separate but overlapping controls when you
have to go the desktop anyway to do anything useful with the image, like
print? The design of CS4 is a conceptual disaster/lunacy/bad joke on users.
CS4 is a perfect example of what happens when a manufacturer has no real
competition.
