Menu of context 'Read' no word 'open '.
I have an application that uses the ShellExecute (hWnd, "open", pFile, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); to view the attachments. The pFile file can be any type of document to PDF. On a Vista with Adobe Reader (8, 9, or 10) machine in the temporary directory of the user, it does not for PDF documents. When I right click the PDF the default verb is 'read' not 'open '. (If I replace the 'open' in my call to 'read', it works, but I can't do is can be an arbitrary fixation).
The search in the registry for the Shell verbs not 'open' is entered. If I use 'Open with' to set the default program to "Notepad" it opens files in Notepad. If I change back to Adobe it goes back to 'read '.
I have not configured this machine and it might be some 'interesting' permissions, security settings, but these cause Adobe Reader to change the word 'read', of 'open '? (And if so, how can I remove settings?). I am also as administrator with full read/write access to the directory?
I searched the Internet and could not find another person with this problem, but no solution...
No new results on this issue?
We could solve what seems to be the same problem by correcting the registry.
We had a domain user on a computer (Win 7/64-bit) with only one entrance to 'Read' in the context menu for the pdf files.
Using ShellExecute ('open'...) in a similar use cases, we had the same result as ceeebeem.
Adober reading X is installed on all our machines.
Other users - in particular a 'fresh' - on the same computer user did not have this problem.
We started regedit for specific user and found
HKCR\. PDF\ (standard) = pdf_auto_file
Had other users:
HKCR\. PDF\ (standard) = AcroExch.Document
Entries and subtrees under:
HKCR\AcroExch.document and
HKCR\AcroExch.document.7
were the same for all users.
Reinstall or repair the Acrobat Reader X has not solved the problem.
Also to reallocate the extension by "open with...". "did not work.
But deleting the "HKCR\.pdf" entry for specific user does the job.
After a registry to refresh the reappeard .pdf-entry for this user as:
HKCR\. PDF\ (standard) is AcroExch.Document.
So this seems like a problem with the registry virtualization.
(May be another program with not enough access right has produced this virtual HKCR\.pdf entry.)
In our case the Foxit Reader has been installed Compact (and later removed) on this machine. "But that's just a guess).
EDIT:
HM maybe edition HKCR was not a goog idea because according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/en HKCR is constructed in HKCU\Software\Classes and HKLM\Software\Classes. If the values should be edited it there...
But the problem is still resolved, may ba as a side effect.

I did an upgrade FF v3.6.xx to v17.0.x and found that the order of items in the context menu 'Link' is not the same.
v3.6 menu looks as follows: 1. "Open link in a new window", 2. "Open link in a new tab,"
order of the items in menu v17.0 is 1 reverse. "Open link in a new tab", 2. " Open the link in a new window. "
Position of all the other elements are uninteresting to me.

"Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot open 'amy application' because it's a non supported file type or because the file is damaged."
I received this message during indexing on my computer. I could not get the message, so I
uninstalled Adobe.
After you have uninstalled Abobe, I was able to get all my jobs and applications (with the exception of adobe files).
Then I tried to re - install Adobe, but who has turned to a complicated procedure.
There are so many choices, and there are a number of downloadable updates. What was I guess what to do? But I have chosen one of the Adobes and tried to install it.
After that I don't know what happened. All my desktop icons are now Adobe icons in place. that is The Firefox icon is now replaced by an icon of Adobe. It is the same for several other desktop program icons. (QuickTime, chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.)
When I try to open the program by clicking on it, I get the above message.
I went to the site of help from Adobe and read a complex string of instructions, including
words like '% pdf', "DWROD" and, for me, other nonsensical words and phrases.
Needless to say that the instructions were no help.
I said all that to say this. I want that my computer back. What should I do to do?
Sincerely,

Every time when you open the document in Adobe reader, it will open 'tools' (export - life - pdf, pdf, pdf - luo - etc.). Every time I have to manually turn this off. How I can inhibit this tool? I don't really want to, and he stole my display space. How to inhibit?
I have little display and allways this "life pdf", 'luo pdf', 'pdf-tiedostoa muokkaa', 'commentary', etc. appear. How I can inhibit this junktool?
Go in Edition > Preferences > Documents and uncheck "Open tools for each document pane.

I always get requests to update on my office home page. After the most recent, most of my quick start icons are badges of adobe. Except a few functions are not open. When I right click on Firefox (for example) it says 'READ' rather than 'OPEN' and then displays the Adobe error box. The only other answer I received (from Ask.com) is that the update was a virus. I'm not computor savy and my pc is quite old. I just want to come an hour before this recent action, but I can't open Norton power eraser or even the ability of the computer to return to an earlier point in time to cancel the action. Each of these attempts of task appears Adobe error box. I am currently showing Adobe Reader X 10,0

I get an error msg when I try to open a file using adobe reader software. Error States: Adobe Reader could not open ' heels 2014 001.exe bmp because it is not a supported type, file or because the file has been damaged (for example: he was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been decoded correctly.).
I tried to send an email with attachments 44 and would not send the email. Ever since I tried to send this e-mail, I have been doing the error msg.
Anyone know how I can get this to work for me again?
Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.

The file you are trying to open is (you can see from the name) a BMP, PDF files no file. Adobe Reader can only open PDF files, just so stop trying to open it with Adobe Reader. The app, users of Windows for BMP files is painting.

Acrobar Reader DC cannot open old pdf files.
I have a dvd of my car manufacturer that has a lot of PDFs on the dvd and also on this dvd is Acrobat Reader 5. It can be used to open these pdf files. But the new Acrobat Reader DC cannot open these old pdf file. When you click on these files, internet explore opens and takes you to the download page for Acrobat Reader DC. This is a major bug for the new version!
The problem is that this PDF file is encrypted with a Security Manager, called 'ACTI:SecHandler' which is not provided by Adobe. I searched the web a bit and came across some others complain that PDFs based on the service provided by Mercedes Benz have been provided with Manager encryption (http://www.mbca.org/forum/1998-sl500-repair-manual-needed and http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/tech-help/165253-braingears.html and http://forum.autocd.ru/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18319).
It is very possible that the software Acrobat Reader on your CD comes with a plugin (.) File API in the player plug_ins directory) that is capable of managing this encryption. In this case, what you can do is to copy this .api file (I don't know which would be the name, but if you can share a screenshot of the the CD plug_ins directory, I can tell you the name of the file) of your Acrobat Reader on the CD in the folder plug_ins of the XI player or CD player. Then, XI or DC drive should also be able to open these files.
Let us know how it goes.
