Default PDF vs. Resources

Uninstall the plugins for Adobe first - then the reader

To All:
By now I am able to answer my own question(s):
Apparently that message was due to the presence of the plug-ins for the
Acrobat Reader. Once I removed and then reinstalled the Acrobat Reader and
reassigned Foxit as the active Reader, those pesty messages were gone and
Foxit is in its element. But Acrobat must still remain as a program, or
the
plugins will become just 'word' files.
If there is a way around this, I would like to know it.
Thanks.

Harry.

Foxit works mighty slick, Mike, but I get this error message, that
windows
cannot find a pdf file, even though it found it, so I just click it
'off'.
But why the message? Should I simply ignore it?

Thank you Mike.
What will happen to the existing Adobe files after I'd change to
Foxit? Can it open them?

Harry,

Yes. Foxit can read most if not all pdf files generated by Adobe
Acrobat
and other pdf generators.

That may sound illiterate to you, but it's a question for me.
At any rate, I am going to try the desktop method first.

Best of luck,
