    For PDF links, Excel uses Adobe Reader instead of my system-default PDF reader.

    In cells that link to a PDF file, Excel is using Adobe Reader instead of my system-default PDF reader. (I have Adobe Reader installed only for occasional "open-with" use.) How can I force Excel to use my default reader every time? This problem began with a new, "grabby" version of Adobe Reader, recently installed (Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015).

    I don't take credit for this... but I believe this should work.
