Automatically open .pdf in Adobe Reader

Solved/Closed

Hello, I had Adobe Reader 4.0 on my computer, then I downloaded version 6.0 and uninstalled the old version.
Since then, all *.pdf files no longer open automatically with Adobe Reader; I first have to launch the program to then open the file I'm interested in.
Does anyone know how I can open the files directly like before? (I've tried the properties with "open with," but it doesn't recognize the program in the list).
Thanks

    I found a solution that might interest others!!!
    With Windows Vista, you just need to change the name of the EXE file.
    I modified AcroRd32.exe to Adobe Reader8.1 and after that, it appeared in the list.
    This now resolves my problem!!

      This technique worked for me too! I changed the EXE point name to AcroRd10.0.
