Trying to get a file association right

[Dennis Payne]

At my work I've got adobe acrobat reader on an XP pro machine. Part of what
I do is look at pdfs located on a web server somewhere offsite. Adobe is
installed correctly, and I can use it independent of IE, but every time I
try to view a file by directly clicking on its link, Windows can't find the
acrord (sp?) executable.

Locally, file associations are correct - double clicking on a pdf in My
Computer works. BUT, typing acrord32.exe (or however its spelled) at a run
prompt gets me the same "can't find it" error.

Does Windows/IE keep associations in more than one place? if so, where?

Make sure that in your Acrobat Reader preferences that
all the web browswer options are checked. In the full
version there are the options 'Display PDF in
browser','Check browser settings when starting
Acrobat','Allow fast web view', and 'Allow background
downloading'. There should be similar settings in the
reader. Best of luck.
