Some guff in the registry methinks. I might be able to provide a list of keys to check tomorrow for you.

When he double-clicks a local PDF file it opens and renders fine. When he double-clicks a PDF file on a mapped drive or non-local resource, Adobe Reader fails to open. If I right-click a PDF and choose Adobe Reader it fails to open. There are two Acro32* processes in Task Manager which have to be killed. However, I've been able to open PDFs on a network resource by opening Reader first and navigating to the file, or by right-clicking the file and browsing to Reader and setting it as the default program (it already is). Then the file opens fine. I I pinned Reader to his start menu and if he highlights it a menu of recent PDFs is displayed and he and he can select even a remote PDF and it opens fine. Obviously, he'd prefer to be able to to just double-click any PDF and have it open. FoxIT isn't an option because some of the PDFs he references are encrypted and require Adobe Reader. Any suggestions?
