Acrobat Reader version when click on *.pdf file

[Robert M. Lincoln]

I have both Adobe Acrobat (version 5) and Acrobat Reader (version 6). I
would like IE to launch Acrobat Reader version 6 when I click on a *.pdf
file on a web page. Instead, it launches version 5.

How do I change this?

Thanks

You find a PDF file, rt-click and select Open with..., search fro Adobe
Reader, and check the box: Always use.

I am not give the choice, "Open with...". I can only "open" and Adobe
Reader 5 launches.

Hold down the Shift key while you right click.

That doesn't work either. I get the same popup menu options. The specific
link that I'm accessing is:

Click on one of the *.pdf files yourself and see if you get a menu option
that says, "Open with...". I don't.

You have to save a PDF file to your hard drive. Then hold down the Shift
key while you right click it.

I've already set that from Windows Explorer - Folder Options. That's not
the problem. Whenever I do click on a *.pdf file from my hard disk, Reader
version 6 launches.

However, when I click on a PDF file from within IE, Reader version 5
launches. I want version 6 to launch from within IE. How do I get that to
happen. I don't want to delete my version 5 Acrobat. I have both version 5
Acrobat and version 6 Reader.

Thanks
