    Default Want to open .pdf files in IE in Reader, not Acrobat 5.0

    When I try to open .pdf files in Internet Explorer, my computer (XP) opens them in Acrobat 5.0. I want to open them in Reader instead. Is there any way I can set this up?

    The only sure-fire way is to open Reader before you click on a PDF in IE.

    You could add it to your startup folder so it will automatically launch when you start your PC.

    There is a registry hack that does this floating around somewhere, you can probablt find it with a forum search.
