Acrobat XI controls printing instead of reader

[Hey-June]

I have Acrobat Reader DC set as my default program for pdfs for all defaults. However, when I select a file in file explorer and right-click Print, Acrobat XI is what is executed. How can I change this?

I use Win 10.

As I mentioned, I HAVE associated Reader with the pdf extension! That is why I want to know why Acrobat XI is controlling printing from File Explorer.

Confirm PDF program association (CMD):

C:\Users\andrew.braker>assoc .pdf

.pdf=AcroExch.Document.DC

Open registry to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.DC\shell\Print\command

Change value to Reader:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /p /h "%1"

Profit
