Adobe installer starts with every instance of Explorer/IE

I recently deleted some Adobe Acrobat 7.0 install files from a temp folder --
or thought I did. Now every time I start Explorer or Internet Explorer
(including My Documents or My Computer) Acrobat starts to install itself
again.

I suspect I have inadvertenly made a shortcut to the installation program
and put it somewhere where it is executing every time I run IE or explorer.
Searches for it have not yet been successful.

Any thoughts on where to look?

Thanks,
Larry

Suggest you try Acrobat Version 7, Help, Detect and Repair first.
