Tom, I'm sorry. I've never used the Adobe forums before and I thought the first time I posted in the wrong forum, so I re-posted. Anyway... I understand following good ole Microsoft's convention of My Documents, what I don't understand is why I can't overide that with a "command line switch" or why I can't specify a different default directory within the program. Even crummy MS programs allow you to change the default dir away from My Documents. As I said in my original post, I could tack on a path in the icon of Acrobat 4 and it would overide the default dir and make that your current Acrobat directory. I did that so that when the user clicked on FILE,OPEN they didnt' have to browse through network paths to get to their PDF files. Now they must navigate a maze of folders to drill into what they need through Network Neighborhood.
