I am using PDF-XChange-Editor Plus v9.2 as portable version (installed on an USB stick).
How can I configure Windows/the program to open pdf per default = clicking on a pdf file starts PDFX-Change Editor Plus on the stick.
On one machine I am sometimes working using there is installed an older version of PDF-XChange Editor (v7) and I would prefer using my newer portable version for opening PDFs.

Not sure if it works from USB Stick. I also use the portable version on a laptop, however I simply copied it to a folder on the HDD.
Windows then can be configured to use this version as the standard PDF program, simply by right-clicking on a PDF and going through the "Open with" -> ... -> "Choose another app on your PC" process once.

Hello David.P,
Thanks for the help!
Indeed that can be set in Windows - and provided that PDF files are only attempted to be opened when the same USB stick is connected to the machine - and Windows assigned it the same letter - it should work.
Kind regards,
Stefan
