Ramblings

Okay, given, Adobe Reader is a great product. It's free, it's conventient, blah blah blah.

Unfortunately the little bastard reformats all of my zipped folders into Reader files, and then can't open them. I don't know how to change this setting, and eventually I just get so frustrated that I uninstall Reader. Does anybody have a better solution? Please? Hopefully one that doesn't involve buying WinZip? Because apart from really desperately disliking WinZip, I don't feel like shelling out the $.
