Adobe 9 Standard changes desktop icons on installation
Any ideas on how to fix this? It's a hard one...
The PC is a Windows 7 which was upgraded from Windows Vista.
Problem: After installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, most of the desktop shortcuts change to launch Adobe Acrobat.
Uninstalling Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard restores the icons to normal.

Should be noted that the problem isn't just that the icons are wrong - they all launch Acrobat ... As if it's changing file associations it should be.
