A while back I installed Adobe Acrobat version 7 on my XP computer.
Recently I found a folder called "Adobe PDF" in the "Shared Documents"
folder, so I decided to delete it. Well, after doing that, I
double-clicked on a completely unrelated folder on my desktop and this
Adobe Acrobat dialog pops up on my screen to tell me that Acrobat is
configuring itself and what not. Then the "Adobe PDF" folder shows up
again in the Shared Documents. How in the hell is this Adobe
application able to intercept me double-clicking a folder? And how do I
prevent it from doing so? I did some more testing and after deleting
the "Adobe PDF" folder, any action triggers this, like double-clicking
on any file or folder. This is very annoying. I really don't like
applications hanging out in the shadows and doing "stuff" behind my
back. Is this something related to shell explorer extensions? I looked
in the registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\, but I don't see anything
called "Adobe" or "Acrobat" in there. Thanks in advance for your help.
