Melvin:
When I click on "Tools" from the explorer window,
"Folder Options" do not come up. What comes up are the
following:
- Mail &
News
- Syncronize
- Windows
Update
- Show Related
Links
- Internet
Options
none of which leads to "Folder
Options".
Would appreciate your review and advice of how to
ultimately get to "File Types", AND then what applications should be assigned to
"File Types" --- and how to get the appropriate application re: Adobe Acrobat
Reader.

Hi Paul,
From an explorer window, click on Tools, Folder
Options, File Types. Select the PDF extension and it should tell you
what application is assigned to them. The other thing to try is to just
double click on a pdf file from the explorer window and make sure that Acrobat
opens the file.

Thank you for
your timely response. Glad to know I'm not the only one with such a
problem --- none of my close associates have occurred such a
situation.
One question, how do
I "be sure that the association for the pdf extension is assigned to
Acrobat"?

- Hi Paul,
- I've had numerous complaints from friends and clients with essentially
the same complaint. They, like you, were using Outlook
Express. It seems to be a fairly common issue. For some time I
found that having them save the attachment first, then opening the saved
file worked reliably, but I've since found that in several of the cases,
the problem was related to file associations being missing or wrong.
Make sure that the association for the pdf extension is assigned to
Acrobat. If that still doesn't resolve the issue, or it is in fact
already that way, you should still be able to fall back to the "save and
then open" mode.

- I am operating a computer running on Windows
2000 Professional.
- I cannot decode pdf messages "received as
attachments to e-mails". Message I receive states that "Message
was not decoded properly. This version of Windows 2000 is not supported.
You should upgrade to ServcicePack 2 and run setup again".
- I have upgraded not only to Service Pack 2
but Service Pack 3 and 4 as well.
- Still my computer does not decode "pdf
messages received as attachments to e-mails".
- I would appreciate your
assistance.
