Default Loading PDFs, Shell Function

It _kind of_ sounds like a file association (well, from a distance).


When it's broken, in windows explorer: try shiftright clicking on the .pdf file
and select OpenWith.

Browse to the version of acrobat (AcroRd32.exe???) and check to always use that
program for that file type.

It might fix something...(or might not have any affect).

Your suggestion loads a new dos box with a box title of the filename.

I have since uninstalled Acrobat v4 and reinstalled it to no effect. I
then installed Acrobat Reader v5 which fixed it. I then uninstalled
Reader v5 and installed Acrobat v5 and it still worked. I then
uninstalled Acrobat v5 and installed Acrobat v4 and the problem returned
(even though I have it working on other machines with Acrobat v4).
