I have the following installed:
-Outlook Express
-vs 8 adobe reader
-WIndows XP

When I click on the attached pdf, I  get "The file does not have a
program associated with it for performing the action.  Create an
association in the Folder Options control panel."  I am not the most
sophisticated user so tried help to locate the Folder Options but help
was no help.

I can open pdf from a web site.

Recommendations?

Thanks,
M
