Acrord32.exe started by Explorer won't terminate
Whenever Adobe Reader 6.0 is opened by Explorer's web browser, Acroread32.exe is started, using about 30 megs of ram (Windows 2000).
It doesn't terminate when Explorer does, only at a user log-off.
Is there a way around this, so I don't have to keep going to Task Manager to free up the ram?

Nothing in this question missed the point: The original question was about whey the process hangs around. Your problem is not the problem that was discussed in this question. The process does usually work (it does not look like the question author has this particular problem, and neither do I experience it).
Please open a new question specific to your problem.

You can avoid this by making Acrobat not open the PDF in the browser...
It's a setting in the Prefs of Acrobat Reader...

That certainly works. Thanks!
(Sorry I already accepted another answer a long time ago.)
The point is, when Acrod32.exe is in the task list, following reading a PDF file, even though you have closed out of all PDF documents, the next attempt to open a PDF file hangs untill you kill the acrord32.exe that is still in the Task List.
How do you either configure Acrord32.exe to terminate when the last document is closed or confuigure Windows to properly re-connect the running executable without hanging?
