A computer question

I know this is totally self serving and is of no interest to anyone else..but If someone can help I would appreciate.

When I download a document to open when it is finsihed....it often opens up to a blank page with a little red icon in the center.

However if I download to "save" on my descktop....that red icon shows, i right click the mouse on it, "open with" is a choice....I click on the choice of adobe....and the document opens up fine.

how can I make it so the document opens with adobe as soon as it downloads...and can I manually open it from the original open page with the red icon on it...without going back and downloading to "save" on my desktop/ When I right click on the icon on the blank page it doesnt give me the choice of "open with"..so I have been "saving"

Looks like you need to update your file associations so that PDFs open with Adobe Reader.

thanks,.i will look into the link

Just for the record, Foxit PDF Reader is a free, fast and lightweight alternative for the cumbersome and intrusive Adobe Reader.
