I'm a new Windows 8 user and am running the Classic Shell since I don't like the Metro interface. When I opened a .pdf file, it opened via Win8's pdf reader. Aside from being bad (being nice), when I close Win8's pdf reader I'm back in the Metro interface which I hate.
So I installed Adobe reader. During the download, it asked for the OS version with Win8 and Win7 as choices. I chose Win7 and installed Adobe reader 11.0. It's working fine so far and mainly, when I close the reader, I'm back in the desktop where I want to be.
QUESTIONS:
1. if I had selected Win8 as the OS, would Adobe Reader have installed as a Win8 app and acted like the Win8 pdf reader and put me in Metro when I closed it?
2. In the future, should I always chose Win7 as the OS for software downloads if I want to always stay in the desktop mode running Classic Shell?
Thanks,
