The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.

Installing the Adobe Reader should set it as the default for .pdf

Hi Ryan :-)

You don't mention which version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following and see if it helps:

How to set default viewer for images:

Go to control panel>Folder Options>File Types, scroll down to the image
extension, for example .jpg click change button, choose the program that
you want to use with that file type, click okay, then whenever you click on
that file, it will use the program you choose to view it.

or...

Click once on the file you want to open to select it. Hold down the Shift
key and right-click on it. Select Open With. Select the program you want to
use, but before selecting OK, check the box at the bottom that says "Always
use....". Select OK

Hope this helps :-)

Thanks again!
