adobe has taken over the pc!!

Hi, simple and to the point

Every time i try to open a music or video file 'adobe' leaps up and tells me 'I cant open that, i dont recognise it'. Even though I yell, 'of course you dont recognise it, i didn't even ask you to appear, you pdf reading piece of cr...', it doesnt seem to help.

ive looked on the adobe options and cant find how to stop it automatically trying to open everything and have googled my problem, but cant seem to find an answer.

I know i could just uninstall adobe, but that seems a little overkill, and i might need it for net viewing or something anyway.

I might just be missing something obvious, but id much appreciate your help
