Incorrect File Association - Need help to disassociate.

Hello Everyone!

Could someone please help me to unassociate a file in Windows 98? I got a
..pdf and it is opening as a .doc which results in garbage. Can someone
explain to me the steps needed to release the wrong association and do it
properly so it shows in PDF format?

Thanks a lot!

Jose.

Select (left-click once) a .pdf file in Windows Explorer; then, right-click the file
and click "Open With..." on the menu that appears. In the dialog that appears, find
and select Adobe Acrobat Reader, then put a check in the box for "Always use this
program to open this file", and click OK.

At that point, considering the programs involved in the snafu, I would reinstall
Adobe Acrobat Reader to ensure all entries and associations are correct.
