Subject: LyX doesn't store my PDF viewer info
When I set LyX to tell it the path and file name of my Acrobat Reader,
it doesn't stick.
When I quit, and restart it, and loses that info.
--Mark
My viewer has this path, C:\reader7\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Yours is probably in F:\program files\adobe etc
So try using the full path name including the drive letter.
Since you probably know to modify and save, perhaps
the changes are being saved to the wrong partition.? Locate
(all) your preferences file by searching all your partitions and
remember to enable search "hidden files and folders". Mine is
C:\Documents and Settings\Stephen\Application Data\LyX
Still, I think using the full path including drive letter should fix
it, if any of the other preferences options are being read and
you have only one preferences file.
