    I am grateful that this still applies. The change first took place on my laptop, and today on my desktop. I was losing my mind trying to figure out what I did to make this happen, but this video came to my rescue. It was straight to the point and easy. Four years later it still worked...THANK YOU!!!

      You have probably fixed your issue by now since I see your post was 4 months ago, but when I did this method on my computer, I did not have to restart. After I made the change with one of the files I currently had that showed the Chrome symbol, then when I clicked "Apply" it asked if I wanted to change all of my files to Adobe. I selected "Yes" and then it automatically changed all of my files to Adobe. I am so happy because I was freaking out trying to fix it. I hope you got yours fixed.
