Hi.
I use a PC with Windows XP Home edition.
Have Adobe Acrobat 5.0 which I need to create pdfs.
Also have Acrobat Reader 7.0.

Is there a way to make Reader 7.0 the default reader? Right now, 5.0 kicks in automatically whenever I have a doc to open (e.g., from the web).

I have not seen a topic covering this, nor can I find a command to make it so. Tried re-installing Acrobat 5.0, hoping it would let me leave the Reader out, but no joy there. Also tried "change" in add/delete programs for 5.0 but the only option is to uninstall the whole thing.

I can open 7.0 reader and access documents that way, but that's not convenient.

Thanks, in advance, for any help you can offer.
