How do I find preinstalled program's executable from the Start Menu
I have a new Windows 7 Professional machine, on which Adobe Reader is preinstalled. A program I'm using (called TeXnicCenter, if you must know), is calling some program called Nitro to view the PDF files it creates. I want to change that to Reader, which means I need to find its executable.
Start Menu has a shortcut to Reader. I have opened that shortcut's properties box. However, it does not tell me where it's pointing to.
I've had this type of problem in the past. I don't just want to know where Reader is installed (I do want to know that, though). How do I find where Reader is installed from the Start Menu's shortcut? Why is the location hidden?
I have found the Program Files (x86)/Adobe directory. But I it is a rather large tree and I haven't found the correct executable. This is another reason I want to use the shortcut. It point me right to the correct executable. Why would MS even bother to hide this info?
