Reason #2231 why I hate Vista

Went to go open a PDF file this morning on my work computer and got this error message:

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.


not-very-helpful

What? I haven’t changed the settings for opening PDF documents. But now I’m digging around in the control panel trying find “Set Associations”, which I can’t find. Magic.
