Hi Andrew

Gave that a go but no luck. IE continues to point to Acrobat Standard even though Acrobat Reader was installed last.. Will keep playing and will let you all know if I get it working. Otherwise I may have to leave it as is...

Thanks
Rose

I could well be wrong about this, but when I had major problems with Reader, the IE integration seemed to boil down to the plugin dll and an OCX file in the Readers folder (Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\ActiveX\pdf.ocx)

Try unregistering pdf.ocx in Standards folder (Im assuming this has the same ActiveX folder!), then registering the OCX in Readers folder and putting the AcroIEHelper.dll in IE's plugin folder, and see what you get

Hi Rick

Thanks for the tip.  Gave that a go.  Regmon picks up a million keys - I
spent 2 hours sifting through the log - fun fun...  I installed Std firstt
hen reader, however the associations didn't change.  It still defaulted toA
crobat Standard.  I found the 1 key that changes this and created a reg
file (updates HKCU\Software\Classes) that runs from usrlogin.cmd - all goods
o far...

The only issue I have is that PDF's link to Acrobat Standard in the IE
browser.  I unticked the option in Acrobat Standard so PDF's don't open int
he browser and enabled this in Acrobat Reader.  When I try to open a PDF in
IE, I get a red x now - it refuses to use Acrobat Reader...

I wanted to try these simple changes without writing 100 reg keys in HKCU. I
s there an easy way to get the pdf IE integration working easily or do Ih
ave to right all reg keys on logon?

Thanks heaps
Rose
