Hi
I got it working.. After modifying the following key all associations are
now pointing to Acrobat Reader..
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat Reader 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
The only minor issue I have is now with Acrobat Standard. We use Active
Directory to redirect My Documents to the users home drive. When I run
Acrobat Standard and try to create a PDF based on an existing Word 2000
Document located on My Documents, Word is opened and no PDF is created. If I
browse to the users home drive represented by the drive letter I: and repeat
the same step on the same file, the PDF is created and all works fine. I
simply cannot create a PDF from Word from the redirected My Documents path
(for Word only). All other extensions work fine..
Thanks for all your help guys
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
