How do I get rid of the "Make Adobe Acrobat your default" pdf reader.
Google says to check the box that says "Don't show this again", duh, but
there is no such box.
I can't find anything from Adobe in my start-up folder. Where else might
it be?
It stays there a long time and it moves. It's a real distraction.
I'm tempted to delete the reader I have. That will teach 'em.ÿ I can't
believe they think they will make friends this way.
So far it's only on one win10 Home box, but that's because I haven't
installed Adobe on the new computer yet, or the other one.ÿÿ And they've
made it much more likely that I won't.
I guess you did not find out how to kill that pop up from appearing?
He could use Revo Uninstaller like I did. Free, and will rip out adobe crap-ware by the roots ... not a trace left in the registry or any files.
There are other uninstallers too, but revo is the only one I've
personally used and able to reccomend.
I suspect any of then would get rid of his adobe infection.
You'll never have a moment's peace with any adobe stuff installed ... ever.
Good luck!
