In this WindowsForum thread, the original poster asks if it's possible to open a PDF file with a different program (Adobe) via a shortcut like shift+double clicking, without using the "Open with" context menu. The respondant indicates that such a feature isn't available in Windows. Overall, the discussion concludes that there's no straightforward method to set a custom shortcut for opening files with a specific program without using standard options.

hi, Sorry for the confusing title. I could not make it easier to understand.

Well, suppose there are two programs installed in my pc to open PDF file. (adobe and foxit)
Foxit is set as default program to open pdf files. Now I want to open pdf file with adobe but I dont want to use "open with" from context menu. Is there any way, like I want to click shift+double click the file to open with adobe.

Sorry for my bad English, Thank you.

I don't believe there is a way to do this.
