What you need to do is recreate the shortcut.  (At least this worked for me.)
Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and find "Adobe Reader X".  Rename that to something else.  Then create a new short cut to the executable AcroRd32.exe (Mine was in this location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe") and call the new shortcut "Adobe Reader X".  If it works delete the other shortcut and you are set!  Good luck!
