Application Setup

[Rodney Chelius]

I want to launch a specific file when I click the
application icon.
When I launch Adobe Reader 7.0 I want it to open a
specific .pdf file.
I have tinkered around trying numerous combinations with
no luck.
Can someone help me setup the application to open a
specific file?
Thank you.

You should put a shortcut to the specific file on your desktop and
doubleclick it. If it does not open Adobe Reader automatically, right click
on the shortcut and select Open With and select Adobe Reader 7 and check
Always use the selected program. Limiting Adobe Reader 7 to a single file
would be a bad idea anyway, even if it were possible (it isn't).

Thank you for the help. I'll give it a try.
