Check what application you have associated with files with a pdf
extension. You can change this back to Adobe Acrobat by right clicking on a PDF file, selecting Open With, Choose Program, browse to and select Acrobat in the selection window and check the box to "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and then click OK. -- Mike Maltby Dr. H.Mak wrote: Operating System : Microsoft Windows Me Problem: Upon Double Clicking on "My Documents" Icon I a get a list of my files.

Make sure the file is properly associated with Acrobat Reader. Right
click on a .pdf file click "Open With" and select Acrobat Reader. Select or Check the "Always use this program to open these files" box to have Windows associate the file with Acrobat Reader.

Try reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader. I have not used versison 5
for a while now but there might be an option to repair it in Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet. If there are no option to repair it, uninstall and reinstall it.
