pdfs all open with Acrobat Reader DC even if I set the Windows 10 default programme for pdfs to Acrobat 9.0

pdfs all open with Acrobat Reader DC even if I set the Windows 10 default programme for pdfs to Acrobat 9.0. How can I over-ride this so that they all open with Adboe Reader 9.0 by default? Setting the default in Windows 10 does not achieve this.

‌You can't use Adobe Reader 9 and Acrobat Reader DC on one system.

I can. They work fine except for this one little irritating glitch. I would not use them both if one had all the capabilities of the other.

Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 10, nor with Reader DC. You should not have both installed at the same time.

Hi try67 - Thanks for your reply. Acrobat 9 works fine with my W10 installation (except when Reader DC overrides it). I need them for different things, and neither one of them can do both these things, so I cannot uninstall either of them.
