IE - Conflict between Acrobat 5 and Acrobat Reader 6

[JohnathonChapman@adobeforums.com]

I have Acrobat 5.0.5 installed and Acrobat 6 Reader. Regardless which is installed first, pdf files open in the IE web browser always open with Acrobat 5. I know the problem is in the IE file associations, however I cannot find where to change the association to point at my Acrobat 6 Reader installation.

Double-clicking on a file open Acrobat 6 Reader, it is only in the web browser where Acrobat 5 pops up. (The file associations under My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types all correctly point to version 6)

Appreciate the help.

Whenever you have Reader and Acrobat on the same computer, IE will ALWAYS use Acrobat, regardless of version numbers.

There is a registry hack to get around this, however, use search.
