Elements opens when downloading PDF Files

Can anyone tell me how to NOT have Elements open when dowloading a pdf file? I have Adobe Reader 6.0 and it does NOT open when I download pdf files, Elements is opening instead!

Thanks,
Marc

In Elements go to Edit, File Association (near the bottom of the list). You will probably find that 'Photoshop (*.PDF/*.PDP)' has a check mark. Uncheck it, then click OK. This should solve it.

That may leave PDF files associated with nothing, though.

If so, quick fix is right click on a PDF file, Open With, Adobe Reader, "always use this program".

If icon doesn't change to what you want you'll have to edit in Folder Options/File Types.
