Well, you've gotta love a mystery :-)
There is another way, "Default Programs" somewhere in the control
Panel, but I am not overly familiar with it (I was reminded of it by
another post I read today).
It's available from the Control Panel Home -> Programs (the heading,not
uninstall or change). On the resulting page it's the third item down
.... But Adobe isn't in there.
