Bug? How can I set the program with which to open a file in repro browser?

Hello!

How can I permanently change the default program with which to open a file in
the repro browser?:

Right clicking on a file in the repro browser, the first option is "Open".
If it's a pdf file, the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 openes.
(When I do a double click on a pdf file in the normal Windows file explorer,
the Adobe Reader 8.2 openes; and that's what I want).

So, first question: why does the repro browser open another default program
than the Windows file explorer does?

In the repro browser's file context menu, the second option is "open with ..."
(German: "Öffnen mit ..."). It openes a Windows popup to thoose the program.
I *can* select "Adobe Reader 8.2" there and it will open.

But the checkbox "open always with this program" (German: "Dateityp immer mit
dem ausgewählten Programm öffnen") is DISABLED in that Windows popup, and the
selection of another program has no effect on the default setting for the next
time, "open" is used.

Possible reason:

In the Windows popup the list of programs seems alphabetically sorted and
"Adobe Acrobat 5.0" is the first program in the list. Maybe the "Open" picks
just the first program of the alphabectically sorted program list? That would
explain the behaviour. If this is true, then currently "Open" would choose
arbitrarily any program, i. e. the one program that happens to be the first
one in an alphabetically sorted list. Not nice.

Who has advice?

Thanks & Regards,
  Paul.
