I have used LyX for a year or two, but I have recently started using it on my news Windows 8 machine. Windows 8 has a PDF Reader built in, which I prefer to the Adobe Reader. Is there a way of using LyX (2.0.6) with that reader?
I did look at Tools > Preferences > File Formats, and then choosing File Format > PDF (pdflatex), and under Viewer choosing Custom. It was in that way that I got Adobe Reader working (and I only downloaded Adobe Reader so I could use it with LyX until I figured out how to use the Windows 8 Reader). It seems that this same technique could be used (Viewer > Custom) to use the Windows 8 Reader. However, I don't know the program name to enter here, or the path that I might need to enter in Preferences > Paths > Path Prefixes. It appears that these things are hidden away from the user in Windows 8. At least my online research didn't answers these questions. My technical knowledge is somewhat limited, but I would think a solution wouldn't be too complicated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ---Michael Maltenfort
