    When downloading a PDF file from email, I stupidly associated an incorrect program with the file. Now all my PDF downloads default to that program which, of course, won't open them. I have gone to 'folder options,' 'view files' and tried to change the 'program associated with' info but that doesn't seem to be working; it still defaults to the incorrect program. Help! Can someone give me some assistance? Would be much appreciated.

    Left click (once) on a PDF file. Now hold down the Shift key and right-click on the same file. Select Open With and then click AcroRd32 from the list. Check the "Always Use .... etc" box and then click ok.

    Many thanks, Brett. I would have never figured this out!
