I recently received an E-Mail with a pdf file attachment. When I try to
open
it, I get a dialog box telling me "This file does not have a program
associated with it. Create an Association in the Set Association Control
Panel".

I am using Microsoft Office 2007 Outlook and I do not see any "Set
Association Control Panel". I do have Adobe Reader 9 installed but that
does
not seem to be the answer. Can I get some direction on this one?


Go to My Computer and navigate to *any* pdf file. Right-click on it,
and choose "Open with." Choose Adobe Reader from the list, and check
the box "Always use this program..."

That creates the association.

Ken:
I appreciate your response but I did not mention that I am using Windows
Vista and I do not see any "My Computer" to go to. Can you tell me what the
equivalent selection would be in Vista?
Thanks for your patience.
