Install Acrobat changes .lnk association?
I inadvertantly clicked (to always) on associating to open my .lnk file types with Acrobat pro. When this happened I was unable to control my computer as everything I clicked on would attempt to open acrobat. I couldn't do any of the fixes to restore my defaults as almost all program files were assoc. with Acrobat. So I uninstalled acrobat and I have corrected this probelm by re-setting the proper file associations to their default value for the .lnk file types. My computer works fine with out Acrobat on it.
Here is my problem. I would really like to have Acrobat pro, but everytime I have tried to install it I come up with the same file association problem that started this whole mess. All of the .lnk files are associated with Acrobat and the cycle repeats itself until i uninstall Acrobat! It's my guess that it's a registry problem. I have some experience using regedit but this one is hard to figure out. One thought is backup registry then edit out any mention of Acrobat? Help please. Thank you!
