I just started up the desktop, a particularly slow and crap machine running W10 (I got it for nothing so I shouldn't really complain but... it turns me off W10 more than anything else - just). What are all these Chrome icons on my desktop? They are the regular PDF files (shopping lists, old "attestation de sortie" etc that sit there so that Mme can print them out when needed without having to do anything dangerous like looking for them. What was a PDF has now become Chrome html! I take the 10mins necessary to look into the config. Acrobat DC is sstill there and most of its file types seem to be correct but the .pdf are now being described as Chrome html with default program Chrome! I have changed that back to Acrobat DC and the icons on the desktop have duly corrected themselves. Phew, if Madame had seen that....!
The funny thing is that a) .pdf are still being referred to by W10 as Chrome html and
b) when I opened one up before going into config, Chrome opened it but referred to it as .pdf. No sign of where this html description comes from!
Has Google bought out Adobe (or whoever else might own Acrobat these days)? Why would anything change the program for opening a .pdf? Is there a little chinese or russian spy playing mind games with my heap of junk?
