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).

This works a bit curiously in 1.3.6pre. Pdf = acrobat will bring up the
doc at half-page size.
Pdflatex will also bring up the document in half-page size.
If the full path to acrobat.exe is entered in quotes,
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\acrobat.exe"
The save will not take effect and next time one opens Lyx
the viewer field is blank. But then pdflatex defualts to acrobat
as long as acrobat was in the pdf field.
There is the pdfview.cmd bat file:
START /max Acrobat.exe %1
exit
This works to open the pdf file full-page size.
In the pdf (dvipdfm) field both pdfview.cmd
and c:\LyX\bin\pdfview.com are equivalent
and bring up the pdf doc in full-page size.
At the same time pdflatex using acrobat will bring up the same doc in
half-page size.
And finally, if "c:\lyx\bin\pdfview.cmd" is put
in quotes, modified, applied, saved, closed and
re-opened the field is blank and reverts to acrobat
in half-page size. I don't think pdfview.cmd can
be located in a Path which contains a space.

Yes, I agree that the full file path spec is not saved. I am not entirely
sure
that this is not a bug that needs to be sorted out, and Angus may have views
on that.
In point of fact, the process of reconfiguring kills that entry.
