Hi
does anyone know the fix for users doubleclicking on a file, and then
have the appropriate application launch? (E.G. doubleclick on PDF and
have adobe open?) This behaviour currently doesn't happen.
Thanks!

Check your folder options in Windows explorer.

Your problem is that there is no file association with the file you double
click. Or the user who double click the file has no access to start the
associated program.

You can change this in the Windows Explorer by Tools -> Folder Options ->
File Type tab.

It’s getting more difficult when the user is somebody else.
