Double-clicking on a pdf file doesn't work anymore. I have adobe reader 6.01
installed and working. Before, double-clicking pdf files would start the
program. But lately, it stopped working. I still can open the adobe reader
program. I tried reinstalling adeobe reader but the problem isn't fixed.
When I right click a pdf file, adobe reader is still the default program
(i.e., it is in bold letters). However, choosing it after right-clicking
doesn't work either. What works is: right-clicking, then choosing "open
with..." and then choosing adobe reader from the menu that opens up.

Frankie,
After you use the "Open With" option, you can click the box at the
bottom of the screen "always open this program with this type of file" (or
similar working). It should work OK after that.
