[OPLINTECH] FYI Everything Adobe

[Bob Neeper]

A patron brought her PC in this AM where everything on the desktop and in all 
the menu's were Adobe icons and tried to open with Adobe Reader.

A quick google on my PC (Hers was useless at this point) found:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/application-file-icons-change-acrobat.html

Put the reg file on a memory stick, transferred to her PC, merged it, rebooted 
and all is well.

She demonstrated how she did this as:
Opened Windows Explorer file manager and clicked on Sample Pictures.
Got the window (ignore SCL.plf as it's on my PC)


She selected the list option which showed two icons.
She did the Adobe one but didn't uncheck the Always Use this... box
So it did what she said !

Always hated that the default is a checked box. Too much potential problems for 
my taste.

Normally, clicking on Sample Pictures wouldn't do this except this Sample 
Pictures was copied from her old PC and didn't go anywhere.

Took less than 10 minutes to find the answer and do it.
I like simple problems :-)
