Hi Trish, To get Pro to open the files, right-click on a PDF file and choose Open with > Choose default program. In the resulting dialog box, you should be able to select Acrobat Pro. Make sure you check the Always use the selected program option. Click OK, and you should be all set. Note that these instructions are from Windows 7, but there should be similar options in XP.
Another way to do it in XP: One a Windows Explorer window and select a PDF. Choose Tools > Folder Options and click the File Types tab. Navigate to PDF in the Registered file types list and select it. Click the Change button to choose Acrobat Pro. BTW, Adobe recommends against having two versions of Acrobat on the same machine.

But Reader doesn't have the same options as Pro.? ? Anyone know how to reset this so that Pro opens as the default?? All my windows file associations are set correctly and show that it should be opening in Pro.? But when I click, it's Reader.? If I have Pro already open when I click, it opens in Pro.? But if I don't, Reader opens. ? Help? ? Trish ? PS.? I have Acrobat Pro 9.4, and Reader 9.4 on Windows XP.
