Please help. Adobe Acrobat is taking over my computer.

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? 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 explorer extensions? Thanks in
advance for your help.
