    Crazy Question


    Some may laugh at this, but I just got to thninking about something....

    I have Adobe Acrobat, Distiller, and Adobe Reader 9. Do I need the Adobe Reader if I have Acrobat? I don't seem to know what the Reader can do that my Acrobat can do.

    Thanks!

    Both Adobe Reader and Acrobat read PDF files. But AFAIK, if Reader is installed before you install Acrobat, then Acrobat will ask which viewer you want to be the default viewer. However, if you install Reader on a computer with Acrobat already installed, then Adobe Reader becomes the default viewer.

    Point is, you should be fine if you uninstall the Reader.

    Thanks! That is what I was hoping, thinking

    I did Acrobat 1st when I reinstalled my OS last time. This morning when I was upgrading the Reader I thought about this. One less piece of software I can do without.

Here is the situation. My wife wanted to have a desk top icon for one of her programs. So she went to (All Programs) and drug and dropped it to the desk top. That was great ,except she now wants it to also show up in (All Programs). How do you do that?

I thought there was a setting in the slide show (for wallpapers) that allowed for changing wallpapers like photos change in the screensaver (fade, etc.) But, either this setting doesn't exist, or I've lost it somehow. If it does exist, how could I get it back??

Whats the craziest thing you've ever convinced your friends about computers. I once convinced my friend he needed a carbureator for his computer, so he could get NOS and overclock it. Google proved me wrong though.
