PDF files launch in Adobe Photoshop

I just installed Adobe Photoshop 6.0. Now, when ever I launch a PDF file in I.E. 6.0, it launches Photoshop and not Acrobat. How do I change this setting?

First I'd get into tools-folder options, then file types, and change the default application for PDF's to Acrobat instead of PS.

In what program, IE? I don't see that option in IE.
I ran into this program once before but I don't remember where the setting is.

Open the Windows Explorer, select a PDF file, then while holding down Shift right click on it. You will see a new option Open with..., right click on it. A list of installed programs will be displayed. Select Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader (whichever you have) and be sure the box Always use this program to open these files is checked. Click OK and that's it.

Ah, sorry, I should have been more specific, you can also get to folder options through the Control Panels. You have to be careful when installing PS, it will bring up a list of all the file types it can open, and you can select which you want it to, or do "all to PS" or "defaults" or whatever.
