When you receive a new PDF tool, get your prefered browser installed, or even have a new image editor, you may want to change your system to open those file types with the new software automatically. There are a number of ways to do this, but this guide will show you one of the easiest ways.

  1. In Windows File Explorer or on the Desktop, locate a file that has the right file type: in this case PDF.

  2. Right-click and select "Properties"

  3. In the Properties Window, click "Change"

  4. In the popup that appears, select the application you wish to use and click "OK"

  5. Click "OK" or "Apply" then "OK" in the properties window, and the chosen application is now the default!
