Do it within LyX using the Edit->Preferences dialog, Paths pane, PATH prefix widget, adding C:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\ACROBA~2.0\Reader or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader Either should work. If you have more than one entry you'd like to add to the PATH, separate them with semi-colons: C:\path1;C:\path2;C:\path3 Alternatively, fire up notepad (say) and open C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\LyX\preferences, adding the line \path_prefix C:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\ACROBA~2.0\Reader (Maybe with quotes; I'm not near my Windows box right now.)
