Removing registered Acrobat 8.0 files using the command prompt.
The instructions are below. I get as far as the third line, which reads:
Type cd "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX" and press Enter.
It responds, "path not found."
I paste in this entire line, letter for letter.
cd "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX"
Is that not right?
Thank you.
