Re: Problem with Explorer and .pdf file types

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Adobe Acrobat, by default, is the reader. Adobe Reader should be
uninstalled to prevent conflicts.

In Tools/folder options/file types, Adobe Reader is marked as being the
preferred program for .pdf files. However, Adobe Acrobat is also installed
and when double clicking on a document, explorer fails to select Reader as
the program to use. In fact, I get a mesage saying explorer can't open the
file.

I have similar problems in Internet Explorer when clicking on a pdf link.
In
this case, Internet Explorer crashes.

How do I fix this please? TIA .... Greg
