I uninstalled all adobe acrobat programs (turns out they had adobe acrobat standard as well as the latest free adobe acrobat reader program). &nbsp;I re-installed adobe acrobat free version.<br />

Outlook is trying top open pdf attachments wtih Windows Media Player. &nbsp;When I save the attachment to a file, or to the desktop it opens with a double click as it should. &nbsp;But when attached to an email it always attempts to open with Windows Media Player. &nbsp;Any suggestions? <br />

Outlook opening pdf attachments with Windows Media Player

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.
