[pchelpers] outlook express / associate acrobat reader 4.0

When I get pdf files in email, it would open them with Adobe Acrobat reader 2.0 
or 2.1, I forget which.

Well, it wasn't really working all that well.  I'd have to save the file, then 
open Acrobat reader, then browse to the file, then it would open.

I realized then that I had 4.0 also installed.  So, I deleted the 2. one.  

Now, when I get pdf files in email, and I click on them to open them, this is 
what happens.

 A box opens up that says:
Windows cannot find acroread.exe.
This file is needed to open files of type 'Adobe Acrobat Document'.
Location of acroread.exe.
Then it has a spot to browse for the file.

My old Adobe Acrobat Reader had an acroread.exe.

When I 'browse', I can't find the file.

When I do a 'find', I don't have the file.

I "do" have a file it probably could use:
AcroRD32.exe
(path is: c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 4.0\reader)

When I attempt to browse to THAT file when it asks for acroread.exe, it won't 
show me that one on the browse.  

So.... what can I do to associate this 4.0 with my email.  I use outlook 
express for email.

Anyone?

(I CAN open the acrobat reader 4.0 and then open the file that I have had to 
save somewhere... but I want to have it work from the email like it once did 
once upon a time.)
