Registry kludge needed

I've been using wine for several years to run the Lotus Notes client at work 
and found how to get Notes to launch mozilla and openoffice.  So now I can 
open M$ format files (well, most of them) without having to resort to using 
windows terminal server or a windows based pc.  However, I'm having a problem 
with acroread 5.0.  I can get it to launch, but it claims it can find the file 
or path specified.  The registry hack I've used is the same as for the 
msoffice products, namely:

[Software\\Classes\\Word.Document.8\\shell\\open\\command] 1017676971
@="Z:\\usr\\bin\\Winword.exe \"%1\""

This works for Word files.  I have a link to ooffice for Winword.exe.

But I've had no luck with acroread with:

[Software\\Classes\\AcroExch.Document\\shell\\open\\command] 1017688446
@="Z:\\usr\\bin\\acroread.exe \"%1\""

TIA,
Wayne
