What would be the best solution is definitely to have the installer set pdfview as PDF handler. There is reason to think that LyX is be the only one which suffers from this *&$^%&^^$!*# braindead Acrobat thing.
This is not possible. How can you set something as pdf handler that is actually supposed to use the default pdf handler?
So, if we come back to pdfview (BTW, very bad name, google finds a lot of different ones). How is it implemented? Is it a script or a program? Where does it comes from? Does it work only with Acrobat?
I'm going to write it if a method to override the auto-detection is accepted. It will be a program and any name you like can be used.
It will prevent file locking problems when Acrobat is used (using the pdf tools from Adobe) and will do nothing special when this is not the case.
