Windows 98 "Open with" dialog

Is there any way that I can edit the programs which appear in this dialog. The one that pops up when Windows doesn't know how to open a file or you choose "Open with..." in the right-click menu of a file. I ask because a computer I'm working on has Acrobat Reader 4.0 on the list but not 6.0 which was recently installed. 4.0 was uninstalled completely before I installed 6.0. I haven't had any luck on google since windows, open with, dialog, etc. are very common.
 
Been a long time, but isn't there a browse option? If so, then that should show from then on once you've selected the program once.
 
When I try to use the outdated acrobat link it simply says that the path(C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\acroread32.exe) could not be found and I get to press ok or hit the X. No browsing. If I do select other in the open with dialog I get to browse but it doesn't save the new program in the list so I have to browse every time I go to the open with dialog.

edit: I just searched the registry and replaced any instance of Acrobat 4.0 with Acrobat 6.0. Now Acrobat 6.0 opens using the open with dialog but it doesn't open the file :(
