I need to get the classname of Adobe Reader 7 for use in OLE automation
in an app I'm writing in another language. It was suggested to me that
I get a copy of Spy++ to find this out. Could someone suggest where I
could get this utility, or tell me other ways to get the classname in an
app running under Win2000? Thanks.

You might have a look in;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes
