clicking on pdf files in system folders

Remarkable discovery. I'm using Windows 7 in Dutch on 2 machines, 64 bits Home Premium version on a desktop pc and Windows 7 Starter on a netbook. On both machines I copied some pdf files to C:\users\username\Downloads and C:\users\username\Documents. Then I rightclicked once on a file name. Result: the default pdf reader starts in the background (it does not open the file and you can only check it in Task Manager). Exactly the same happens after leftclicking (once). The choice of pdf reader makes no difference, I made Acroread, Foxit and Nitro the default reader and in happened in all cases on both machines in the maps I mentioned. Apparently it has to do with system folders although it did not happen in C:\users/username\Pictures. No problems either in sub folders of Documents.
NB I did not open the system folders via the libraries but step by step through the "long way" Computer - Users etcetera.
I hope this info is useful.
