i'm kinda tired from all this so i'll just leave it be... one thing
that i'd like to try, but don't know how is simply change the icon. in
xp, IIRC it was in file types where you could choose what program
opens which file, and you could also choose the icon. in vista i've
found how to change the program, but i don't know how to change the
icon. btw, here is how it looks like now:
http://py****.cvs.sourceforge.net/py....1&view=markup
and here is what is shown in the lower left part of the window:
http://py****.cvs.sourceforge.net/py....1&view=markup

anyway, thanks for all your help. if you can tell me how to change the
icon, that would be great, if not, no big deal, i'll live with it.

Yeah, that looks exactly the way you described it, and the way I imagined it.
I'm sorry to say that I don't have a clue as to how to fix it, though. At
this point I would try uninstalling Acrobat Reader and reinstalling it -- if
you haven't done that already. If Acrobat Reader's associated icons are the
only ones on the system that are misbehaving, I'm guessing something may have
gone awry with the original installation. A reinstallation and / or calling
Adobe tech support are the only options I can think of that make much sense
right now.

well, reinstalling acrobat reader was the first thing i did (how to
fix a car? get out of it and get back in ) but it didn't work.
first i'll try tinkering with acrobat reader preferences and if
nothing works i'll contact the support. thanks for all your help mate!
