Following on from this post, I have a user that had both Adobe Pro Ver 6 and Adobe Reader Ver 9 loaded. They are both needed for different purposes. However when she goes to a govt website it needs Ver 9 to open the document, however it keeps going to the default of Ver 6.
I have gone to Windows Explorer and clicked on Tools, Folder options, File Types and scrolled through changing every Adobe option listed to be Ver 9, but still not fixed.
My level of knowledge is better than basic and would appreciate any helpful steps for fix this issue.
