Re: WinMail and PDFs

Thanks a lot for your continuous support, Ramesh!

Ramesh, MS-MVP shared these words of wisdom:

This brings back the old behaviour:
- files clicked in the file-manager open in the Reader,
- WinMail can not the attachment and comes up with the error message.

When
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\F
ileExts\.PDF\UserChoice]
is missing (deleted), as explained, Acrobat comes up and if the Reader
is open, the Reader comes up with the attachment.
The same behaviour when opening a PDF in a file-manager.

Thanks again
Rainald
