Application Setup
I want to launch a specific file when I click the
application icon. When I launch Adobe Reader 7.0 I want it to open a specific .pdf file. I have tinkered around trying numerous combinations with no luck. Can someone help me setup the application to open a specific file? Thank you. Rod

Application Setup
You should put a shortcut to the specific file on your desktop and
doubleclick it. If it does not open Adobe Reader automatically, right click on the shortcut and select Open With and select Adobe Reader 7 and check Always use the selected program. Limiting Adobe Reader 7 to a single file would be a bad idea anyway, even if it were possible (it isn't). -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "Rodney Chelius" wrote in message ...
