[FIXED] PDF Files Open In Chrome Instead of Adobe Reader

in this video I'm showing how to resolve an issue where PDF files open with Google Chrome instead of with Adobe Reader or Acrobat one of the symptoms of this issue is that instead of having the Adobe Reader icon you have this little Google Chrome icon over your PDF files and you can see that inside of Outlook here on this attachment or inside of Windows Explorer here with these PDF files they also have the chrome icon and whenever you actually open up these files you see that they open up inside a Chrome browser here luckily this is a pretty easy problem to fix and all you have to do is close out of any open PDFs you have and then right-click on a PDF that you have saved and hit properties this is the field that we need to change here opens with you can see that it's set to Google Chrome just click on change let's select Adobe Reader click on OK and then hit apply and what this does is it changes the file associations and windows for any files with the dot PDF extension so that they will use Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of Google Chrome to open so go ahead and hit OK and now you'll see that whenever I open up one of these files here it opened on my other monitor here but it opens up in Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of Chrome so that's it for this video hit the like button if it was helpful thanks for viewing
