When I try to download and open a pdf file it always uses
word to try to open it. How do i change this?

Assuming that you have Acrobat Reader on your system, right-click on the PDF
file in Explorer, click on Open With, then Choose Program..., and select
Acrobat Reader in the list, making sure that the box for "Always use this
program to open these files" is checked.
