PDF from dired-buffer with win32 Reader in background?

To read PDF files from within a Dired buffer
I use ! on the name of the file and the following
settings in my. emacs

...
  (add-hook 'dired-load-hook
          (function (lambda ()
                      (load "dired-x"))))

  (setq dired-guess-shell-alist-user
      (list
       (list "\\.pdf$"    "acrord32.exe")
       (list "\\.PDF$"    "acrord32.exe")
       ))
...

(The path of acrord32.exe is in my environment variable PATH)

Emacs, however, remains locked until I close Adobe Reader!
How do I run acrord32.exe in the background
while maintaining control of Emacs?

THANKS!
