I wish to change the program that opens pdf files.
I thought the way to do that would be to go to Windows Explorer > Tools menu
the new window that appears, I click the browse button to navigate to the exe
file of the program I want to use, as it is not already in the list to be
selected.
The problem is it doesn't work, despite the text in the first window says:
"You have customized files with extension PDF."
The text continues: "To restore these files to their default type (name of
program) click Restore."
This indicates there is a default setting somewhere that cannot be changed
from here.
Questions: How can I change both the default and the selected association
of a file type (such as pdf) to a specific program?

I thought the way to do that would be to go to Windows Explorer > Tools menu
this case pdf. In the window that appears, I click the change button, and inFolder Options > File Types, and then select the registered file type, in
the new window that appears, I click the browse button to navigate to the exe
file of the program I want to use, as it is not already in the list to be
selected.
