Make Reader the default for all users in Windows 10

New Here ,

I want to make Reader the default for pdfs for any user that might log on to a Windows 10 computer. I have 22 computers in an open lab, and each computer will have multiple (and different) users each day, so setting the default for each user is obviously not feasible, and setting it while the administrator is logged in of course doesn't work. Users are not administrators, so even if I provided instructions they could not set it themselves. I would love a registry hack, or something not terribly involved as a solution. Any solutions?

Search http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx for ALL Windows help... such as a global "open with" setting

Unfortunately, no help. They only tell how to do it for the current user. As soon as someone else logs in, it has to be done again. I need a way to set it for all users, present and future. But thanks.

Seems to me that this is something best asked in a Windows forum? The setting will be a system setting rather than a Reader setting.

That may be. I was just hoping Adobe Users might have more a vested interest, even though it is a Windows setting. Thanks.
