A PSD file is a Proprietary Adobe file format. It has been since PS came out and or once PS started allowing layers, as far as I know.

Do you mean PDF files. You are posting in the Acrobat Reader forum and PSD files are used by Adobe Photoshop, not, to my knowledge, for Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.

I'm not sure what you mean by Adobe Files. Both PSD and PDF will show up as Adobe files because Adobe is the company that first started using those file formats.

Can you show us a screen shot of the icon you are talking about?

Even if they show up as Acrobat files you can still open them with Photoshop by Right Clicking on the file and select Open with then browse to Photoshop.exe to open them with.

You can also change the association of the PSD file extension back to PS if for some reason it has changed.

If you don't know how to do that I suggest a Goggle search on the topic or contact someone you know that knows how to do it.
