Ninety-eight percent of the time I want to use Adobe Reader 6.0.2 to
read .PDF files on my Windows 98 SE computer, which I downloaded and
installed. However, I also have a couple of fillable .PDF forms I need
to save periodically, so I also had Acrobat Approval 5.0.5 already
installed.

The problem is that when I want to read .PDF files online from my
Internet Explorer 6.0 browser, it opens Acrobat Approval rather than
the newer Adobe Reader. I can open Acrobat Reader separately and
explicitly enter the URL, but it would be much more convenient to have
this done directly from IE.

I would have no problem opening Approval separately on the specific
occasions when I need to save the formms, but how do I go about
reversing the situation, that is, to make Adobe Reader the default for
IE 6.0 rather than Acrobat Approval?
