.Pst files corrupted due to wrong trying to open it with Adobe Reader

This is a second post about the same problem, as previously, I had only one response (from b. from), who asked me to identify my operating system. I am beyond desperate to get this problem fixed.

As described previously (S giraffe - 11/14), I was about to apply a recovery program of electronic mail to some .pst files when, somehow (late at night / tired), I clicked by mistake on 'open with Adobe Reader. Then the disaster! The Adobe Reader logo appeared on the .pst file icon - and also on all other files in the My Documents folder .pst. When I tried to open them I got the following error message:

"Adobe Reader could not open '.pst Outlook (_)' because it is not a type of file supported or because the file has been damaged."

I went back to my drive hard new exernal decompress the original backup files, but these, too, all of them had the logo of Adobe Reader on their icons and brought the same error message. How could try to open a file .pst with Adobe Reader have affected each other .pst on my C drive and in my external hard disk file?

I need to retrieve my emails and contacts! Can anyone tell me anything that allow me to fix everything that makes the Adobe Reader for my .pst files and bring them back to their previous state. I would be extremely grateful.

Adobe Reader 'did not' something to your PST file, but you have probably changed the file association by leaving "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" checked.

What you need to do is to reset the file of Adobe Reader software association and for example replace SCANPST. EXE

If you have a recent system restore (before changing the file association), the restore save point point.  If not, you must manually change (be it in the registry, or by opening the file with SCANPST PST. EXE and again always check 'using the program selected... '. ».
