Prevent "Acrobat Reader isn't your default PDF viewer."

[NamelessOne1983]

Hello together,

I want to deploy Adobe Reader DC 2017 in our company on Windows 10.

Is it possible to prevent the above pop-up message to be displayed?

I tried with no luck:

REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown" /v "bToggleFTE" /t REG_DWORD /f /d "1"

Hello Tariq Dar,

we decided to keep it the way it is, because we also use Microsoft User State Migration Tool to transfer user profiles to new computers. When we do this and the user has modified his file associations, they will get reset.

Thank you anyways.

Kind regards
