Setting Default Book Viewer

Using Calibre 6.29.0 on win10, when double clicking to open a book that has both Epub and PDF files, the book will open with Adobe Digital Editions. Is there a way to set the default so the book will open the PDF file with Sumatra?

I recently found out that Sumatra is very buggy. Don't bother with it.

@jerry - If you have lots of books with multiple formats don't double click, it is inherently ambiguous. Press Alt+V and select the format you want to view, by default PDFs will open in the default handler you have set for PDF in the OS - in your case I assume that's Sumatra.

That's not what he bloody asked.

Unless format is set to use Calibre internal viewer (Preferences > Behaviour) it uses sytem default program. Change that to Sumatra.
