Fix PDF previews in Outlook on x64 Windows

Having difficulties in opening .pdf attachments in MS Outlook?
Hold your taught that Adobe is incompatible with Microsoft especially x64 bit! a simple registry change may save the day..

let's say we have a KAMPRET.pdf file, and it cannot be open using pdf preview handler as shown on the figure below:


go to 'regedit', and browse for below folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\
CLSID\{DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-8880-44885D7DC193}


change the value of 'AppID' with below set of numbers:
{534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}

close the registry, restart your MS Outlook, and whoala.. ;)
