Show Details in File - Open

We just purchased Acrobat 9 Pro. I am trying to find a way to show file details when I click File, then Open. That is, I would like the listing of files to show like they do in Word or on my computer generally.

Name of File Date & Time (last opened) Size

I was able to do this in Acrobat 8 by changing the dialog box from Adobe to OS. I see no such option in Acrobat 9.

Also, Help files did not come with my installation. Has anyone else had this problem. Thanks to All who answer.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

Did you do a custom installation of Acrobat Pro. 9? If so, perhaps the Help files were not selected. Have you tried checking the install CD? You can also access the Acrobat Pro. 9 Help at:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional

You can change to the detail view in the Open Dialog manually; however, the option to change the dialog box from Adobe OS is not part of Acrobat -- just the CS products.
