Preview default suddenly switched to Acrobat Reader

Does anyone have a suggestion how to reset my Mac so that Preview will be the default app for opening PDFs? It just suddenly switched to Acrobat Reader and I can't find a way to switch it back.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Once I typed in my question, an archived answer came up on the sidebar. Issue resolved! Sorry for the clutter!

Select any pdf file that you have on your hard drive. Get info on the file. Highlight the file icon and press the command and "I" keys to bring up the info window on that file. There is a bar that says "Open With" that allows you to select different applications to open that type of file. Select "Preview" from that list and then click "Change All" below that bar, close the info window and I think that will get you back to Preview for opening the pdf files.
