that topic will give you an idea on how to do it... hands at work:

@echo off
M Short %PF% Variable
FOR %%A IN ("%PROGRAMFILES%") DO SET SHORTPF=%%~sA

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf" /VE /D "AcroExch.Document" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\AcroExch.Document\shell\open\command" /VE /D "%SHORTPF%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe \"%%L\"" /F
