On the document icon itself, right click, go to properties. Under the "General" tab, go to "Opens with", click on the change button, choose the Adobe program (assuming you have it), click ok, apply, ok.

I've tried some options
1) right click at .pdf file and change the open with...with reader
2) click properties and click change and select reader adobe
3) I uninstall adobe reader and install a new one...
BUT all is not working...please Help me out...
but right now I can only open the .pdf file when only I open adobe reader first and click on file--->open...
still I need a better way in opening my pdf file...I appreciate it if you all can help me.. thanks
hey guys,
i did all the above: opened control panel -> folder options -> file types and tried to change the setting from open in word to adobe but I cannot see adobe on the list, even though I have adobe on my pc?!!!!
HELP, please!
I have tried all of the above also.....and still when I try to open a PDF file attached to an email, it goes automatically to Word. Even when I go to a website, such as my tv cable company, and try to download my statement, it goes directly to Word in gibberish. I have saved that gibberish and then tried to open it with Adobe reader, but it says it can't read it or the file has been corrupted.
Also I can't find any where the option to "open with"....when I right click and go to "properties" there is no option to "open with". Seems Windows is not reading the .PDF and automatically
opening everything with Word. Where do I go to fix that?!
and by the way, the new Windows 10 update is horrible !
