Right Click - Adobe PDF Creation Add-on

I uninstalled Adobe CS3 and now anytime I right click on a file I get the message ''please wait while windows configures Adobe PDF Creation Add-on'' This is very annoying, how do I stop this.

%26gt; Right click when in what 閳?Photoshop??Bridge??Other application??Windows Explorer??Web browser? ...

Windows Explorer

It also happens when I just double click on a word file to open it

%26gt; Any type of file or folder or a specific one?

Yes, all types of folders and files

%26gt; What programs are running at the time it happens?

It happens no matter what programs are running

see if it's in the add/remove list and uninstall it if it's there

I did the obvious and searched adobe.com for the message and got:

Maybe something there will help.

Not sure if this will help you but I had the same problem (dont know why?) Anyway, I went into Control panel and found that Adobe PDF was set as the default printer???? I removed it and voila....problem solved. The strangest thing of all is that I dont use Adobe PDF, I prefer Foxit reader as its much quicker. Hope this helps :-)

That doesn't seem to be the problem, but thanks for the idea.
