Using Reader instead of Acrobat to view PDF files

[Dave_Mathieu@adobeforums.com]

I have Acrobat and Reader installed on our clients. How can I get Internet Explorer to launch Reader instead of Acrobat?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

you cant

You can.

If you really mean Epxlorer, then just change the Windows file association.

If you really mean Internet Explorer, then there's a registry hack you'll need to find and apply.

Where can I find this registry hack for Internet Explorer?

Thanks!

If I knew offhand I would have posted it. You should be able to either find it here (or via Google) or figure it out via digging around the registry.
