Apparently Adobe Reader XI changes permissions on the TEMP folder: deletes the user all together, and that prevents all sorts of software from working that use AppData\Local\temp DropBox, Thunderbird, the uninstall utility in Windows 7. The fix is not clear, even though there is a long thread claiming to contain the fix. Help?
