Acrobat opens instead of Reader from links in MS Office

hello,

 

we've installed adobe acrobat 9.4.5 , adobe reader 10.1.3 on our terminal servers (windows server 2008 r2) , given users separate permissions based on 2 security groups in ad. has access reader, users have access acrobat.

 

somehow acrobat selected default program opening pdf files instead of reader. managed work around setting registry values gpo, like:

 

[hkey_classes_rootacroexch.document.7shellopencommand]

@=cprogram files (x86)adobereader 10.0readeracrord32.exe %1

 

 

but we've discovered if try open pdf hyperlink in microsoft office products, it'll try open in acrobat again. causes trouble users don't have access acrobat , session freezes while before opens in reader @ last.

 

so question is, how can make adobe reader default pdf program , everywhere?

the default pdf handler needs set @ install time described in admin guide and/or wizard help. setting post-install hack.
