Thank you, Kelly. Now, I have another one for you. After re-installing WinXp,
SP2, attempting to correct an updating issue with Acrobat 6.0 standard, I now
receive this error message as soon as Windows opens the desktop: "Unable to
initialize tray icon". Everything seems to work, but the message is
disturbing to the PC user, who thinks the pc is not reliable.

Any ideas? Thanks. Johnnson.
