to gotdamn Chrome? I keep having to switch it back to Acrobat.

 

Can anyone help stop this madness before I do something rash?

My experience is a Group Policy overrides it.  See this on fix:

Shouldn't be this difficult, but Windows....

No, or am I misunderstanding your original question? You want PDF to open in standalone Acrobat, NOT in Chrome, correct?

Doesn't Chrome have a built-in pdf reader?

The other alternative, I suppose, would be to try to tell it to download pdfs instead of opening them.

I hate Acrobat anyway.  I'd rather use any other pdf reader unless I need to edit or fill one, and then I'd still rather use any other pdf reader/editor, but the USPTO has certain forms that only work in Acrobat.

I also hate Chrome for the most part, I say as I type this from a Chromebook.
