Many thanks indeed for that quick response. I had already tried just
putting in
AcroRd32.exe which I think is on the Path. However, could not seem to get
it to work as it wanted to look in C for it.
However, putting quotes on either side of the FSP did the trick.
Interestingly this sort of change does not require reconfiguring.
Do you think this is something obvious for most people - other than yours
truly - or should we have it in the section on the wiki
that deals with installing this version of LyxWin?
It seems to me that questions about viewing PDFs come up periodically, but
usually from people who don't know they need to go to the file formats
section and fill in the viewer entries. I don't recall the business of
the space in the path coming up much, but then my memory's not
trustworthy. In any case, it's liable to come up more often when versions
1.3.6 and then 1.4 hatch, because they will allow users to work directly
from source documents under My Documents, which I suspect will desensitize
Windows users to the general issue of spaces in the path.
I've added a blurb near the bottom of
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/WindowsSetup
describing this. Feel free to edit it if you find it less than clear (or,
worse, inaccurate).

I changed this pdf format viewer with
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\acrobat.exe"
EDit --> Preferences --> modify -->apply -->save
and it fails to stick using 1.3.6pre (I think 18 or 19) when I reopen Lyx it
is
blank. However it does seem to save acrobat or acrobat.exe without quotes.
I did not change the folling two at all, is it required?
"Then do the same for PDF (dvipdfm) and PDF (pdflatex)."
I thought the instructions (LyX/WindowsSetup) were quite clear,
