I use pdf xchange editor, except for windows preview, where I need MS previewer. I usually change registry like this :
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\shellex\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}]
@="{3A84F9C2-6164-485C-A7D9-4B27F8AC009E}"
I updated pdf editor yesterday but I need to :
- go to preferences/file association/Preview -> No for my registry change to take effect.
best regards
