[pchelpers] Re: outlook express / associate acrobat reader 4.0

Re-Na,

That was a bug with 4.0. I suggest that you go get 5.0 and you will not have
anymore problems.

Then you should be able to adjust file associations using Windows
Explorer. Find the executable with it, then highlight it in the right
pane. Go to the View menu and look up Folder Options. Click the File
types tab.

Highlight Adobe Acrobat Document and click the Edit button. Then click
the Edit button on the next thing to appear. Look under 'application
used to perform action' and if necessary, use the browse button to point
it to the right file. Then Ok and save everything.
