You can put whatever command you want in here. The (Default) value is the command that Windows will execute when you open (i.e.
Drop down that key and go to shell -> Open -> command as shown below.Also note, there will probably be lots of keys with very similar names. Note that we're still looking at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Scroll down to locate the key with the name you identified above.Yours may say something different if Nitro is the default program for opening PDFs. I have Acrobat installed on my system, so mine says AcroExch.Document.2017.
#PDFKEY PRO BATCH FILE PDF#
This will be the name of the application ID that is associated with PDF files on your system. pdf key and make a note of the (Default) entry on the right. This key is where Windows records all file type associations and how it knows which program to open when you double-click a file.
Launch the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. There is a way to do this but you'l have to get comfortable with some registry hacking. I'm actually using Windows 7, but if it is possible on 10, then I will consider an upgrade. If there is an answer to this, it would be very valuable. I think that it might not be possible, but i have been surprised before (to my delight, and yet still down-voted for asking a valuable question). The short cut definition method won't work well for me because he would then have to run the short cut, then browse out to the file, and he would lose the ability to simply double click on the pdf and have Nitro automatically open up that pdf (I want to continue to be able to automatically open up a pdf that the user double-clicked on, but, it should always run as a different user in Nitor-the default pdf program).įolks, don't down-vote this just because the answer might be "No, its not possible". I want to tell the system that if you run Nitro, it should run as a different user. This is very different from defining a short-cut that does a run-as (there are disadvantages to this which I am trying to prevent). Is it possible to set up a particular application to ALWAYS RUN under a different account?
