Question about 'Prevent Programs From Changing Your File Types'

I'm using Acrobat Reader 6.04 to view pdf files; mainly, attachments in Outlook Express. 
The executable is acrord32.exe which is the default in file associations.
This goes along fine for about 5 days when, suddenly while clicking a pdf, I get 
an error saying it can't find acroread.exe. 
I have to re-associate acrord32 in file associations to get it working again (I do 
click apply and then ok).  About 5 days later, the same problem surfaces, and I have 
to re-associate. This has been going on now for about two months during which I've 
had to redo about 10 times. It's annoying, it's a hassle, and I'd like to know how 
to stop it.
