does this not happen with every pdf you read?  (i would expect it to.)

what happens when you open a file in widnoze is determined by the
file's extension.  for each recognised extension, there's a registry
entry that says what application to use.  when i installed acrobat on
my widnoze machine, i allowed it to take over the relevant
extensions.  perhaps this is not true of the installation on your
machine.

in short, i don't believe this is a tex problem.
