i have a win 2000 ts which we have installed adobe reader 6.02 on, the
problem is it has not assosiated itself with any pdf files and won't open a
pdf file in a web browser.

it worked fine with version 5

we also have acrobat standard 6.0 installed on this server.

any one got any ideas on this?

How did you install it?

This shouldn't happen, but to fix it you'll have to do the following:

1. Make this change to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoFileAssociate"=dword:00000000 (change to 00000001).

2. Right click a PDF File in Windows Explorer -> Open With -> Select
Acrobat Reader 6.02 -> Check "Always use the selected program to open files
of this type" -> OK

3. Change your registry value back to 00000000.
