Despite all the responses I received (none of which worked and some became
rather childish), my son advised me that I must use Adobe reader to open such
a file with VISTA.

1. Right click on the insert in the email.
2. Save as "....." in documents
3. Go to "Documents"
4. Find what you have just saved.
5. Scroll to "Open with"
6. Right click on Adobe.

I still consider VISTA a load of crap.

You are obviously over your head. If it opens with Adobe Acrobat,
it's not a Word file, doofus

What an idiot. You have no clue how your computer works, and your son has
to guide you through to figure shit out, yet you slam Vista. Vista is way
over your head and you will have much trouble trying to figure out how it
works.

I suggest speaking with Alias and he will help you remove Vista and install
Ubuntu. That way you can surf the net and read e-mail. Stay away from the
complicated tasks.

Just FYI.

You CAN set Windows to show the full file names with extensions. My
guess is these files have a .PDF extension, which is why Acrobat Reader
can view them.

I got rid of the widgets, turned off user account controls, and have
been well satisfied with Vista.

I've been running with UAC off since about 30 minutes after installing
Vista. I found all the UAC crap so freaking annoying while trying to
install all of my programs that it was the FIRST tweak I applied.
I've never regretted it.

Thanks, Manny, I needed that...

Time frame is about right although I may have taken more than 30 minutes
to get rid of UAC last August.

With an up to date a/v system and a good firewall I would not expect any
problems and haven't had any yet.
