Thanks but what if I don't want to install auctex ?

In the w32 Emacs build (using auctex) the last two lines of this variable are:

("^pdf$" "." "xpdf -remote %s -raise %o %(outpage)")
("^html?$" "." "netscape %o"))

I changed the pdf line in Customize to read "start acrord32 %o" and this raises Adobe Reader (8.0) if it's not running, and loads it with the .pdf corresponding to the current .tex file, or if Adobe is running it just opens the new .pdf. However, if a former version of the pdf is already loaded then running C-c C-c trys to rebuild the .pdf and causes a sharing violation. Is there someway to close that old .pdf in Adobe Reader from Emacs?
Btw, changing netscape to firefox in the above causes an html file in Emacs to be loaded into Firefox on C-c C-v
