Another interesting wrinkle: On my local system, .PDF files have the default MS icon for an unknown object type, BUT, when I open a folder on a shared drive and look at .PDFs there, the Acrobat icon appears! Totally nonplussed. - Bernie

After reading the recent thread on multiple versions of Acrobat on the same machine, I removed the Acrobat Reader (it was v8.1, I believe), leaving only the installation of the full Acrobat tool installed. However, apparently, the .PDF extension know longer "knew" what application it was associated with, and so displayed the MS default icon. When I double-clicked such a .pdf file, it naturally asked what application to associate it with. I picked Adobe Acrobat (v 9.1), and checked the box to always use this app. So far, so good. When I click on a .pdf file, it opens Acrobat. HOWEVER, the files still look as if they don't know what app they are associated with, because they still show the MS default icon, not the Acrobat icon. It's not a showstopper by any means, but it would be nice to get the right icon back. Thanks. I've gleaned lots of useful tips from this list, and (if a personal remark is allowed) appreciate the thorough, measured, and sometimes gently humorous way, Dov makes his remarks.
