Set the file associations in your browser.

Using Windows XP Control Panel / Folder Options / File Types, I have set the
"pdf" extension association to another pdf file viewer than Adobe Acrobat.
This works fine in all programs other than Access. For example, if I
double-click on a file with a pdf extension in Windows Explorer, it opens it
with the third-party viewer. However, if I create a hyperlink to that same
file in Access it is listed as "Acrobat Document" and if I double-click it,
Access ignores my file association and opens it with Adobe Acrobat. Is there
a way to get Access to honor the Windows file associations?
