I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0 and it has taken over all my other photo-managing programs, reassigning itself to be the default reader. How can I reassign my old program to be the default and 'kick' Acrobat out. I still need it to read pdf files but I do not want it to be my 'be-all' program.

Isn't there some management within Windows to do this?

Hi HeidelbergBarbi,

you can change to file associations by following these instructions:

- Open Windows Explorer
- Click Tools -> Folder Options
- Select the File Types tab
- Scroll down to and highlight the file extension you want to change (i.e jpeg, png, gif etc)
- You can now click the 'Change' button and then select the program you want to open the file. Place a check in the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'
- Click OK
- Repeat the process for the other file types

You can also click the 'Advanced' button underneath 'Change' to edit the default open/edit programs.

Hope that helps
