Trying to open a .pdf file with shellexecute only brings up Adobe splash
screen then quits.  Does anybody have a solution to this.

ShellExecute(Handle, PChar('open'), PChar(TheFileName),nil , nil,
sw_shownormal);

I created a .bat file that opens Adobe, and called that with Shellexecute,
and got the same result.  I've also tried the third party componenet
AppExec, and that produced the same results as well.
