PDF files in Outlook XP

[thestadium]

I recently upgraded Acrobat Reader to 6.0. I'm running Office XP SP3 in
Windows 2000. Since the upgrade, pdf attachments sent to me have generic
icons and the file cannot be opened unless I save it to disk first. I
receive many of these daily and saving to disk is not efficient time-wise.
Is there a fix or patch that will allow me to open these pdf files? I did
not have this problem with Acrobat 5.0.

Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat already? File associations are not done by Outlook
but are managed by the program that supports it itself. You can overrule it
by going to Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types
