Do you think it's possible you or someone else set the default program for those file extensions to Word? Go into Windows Explorer, find a PDF file, right mouse click and look at Open With. At the bottom it should ask you to choose the default program. You can make sure you open PDF's with Acrobat, or Acrobat Reader, and HTML files with your favorite browser.
