Are there different registry entries for ShellExecute and for double clicking a file in Explorer? We have one of our locations that insists on bringing up full Acrobat Distiller (I think that's what it was) for ShellExecute and Acrobat Reader (ACRORD32.EXE) for double clicking. We'd like both methods to use Acrobat Reader. The association for PDF is listed as AcroExch.Document. (via the command "ASSOC .pdf") The pdf files won't open in Distiller, says they are corrupted.
