Rainald,
In this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command
Try changing the (default) value data to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"
(Note: The above path applies if you have Acrobat Reader version 8.0 installed.)
Also, delete the "UserChoice" registry key as explained in my earlier mail.

Thanks a lot for your continuous support, Ramesh!

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
