PPC 2003 - ClearVue vs Acrobat

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc,microsoft.public.pocketpc.ebooks,microsoft.public.pocketpc.phone_edition (More info?)

Hmm, this is weird. If I open a PDF file via File Explorer (the built in
explorer) then the file opend in ClearVue. But if I double click the same
file in Pocket Explorer (a third party explorer) then the file opens in
Acrobat viewer.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Resco File Explorer has an 'associate with' function that I presume changes
the registry setting. You could dl the trial version and see it that works.

I tend to open the acrobat reader software first and then the file ... stops
me having to mess around with registries and 3rd party software... works for
me. Shaun
