Reader's foibles -- Adobe Reader, that is

Why does Adobe Reader always open in the My Documents folder instead of one I choose?
Frank Shackleton

I don't know of a way round this except by never using Adobe Reader's file open dialogue. You don't need to open PDF files: just find them in Windows Explorer then double-click them.

You can find files quickly and easily in Windows Explorer by adding selected folders to your list of Favorites. Put them in the My Computer folder and use the mouse to move this to the top of the list.

If you can't see how to do this, go to Start, select Run, type in favorites and click OK. Then go to the menu, click Favorites, and choose Add to Favorites.
