Unhappy Disable Edge from opening epubs
In win 10, is there any way to disable Edge from opening epubs?

I use Windows Commander (www.ghisler.com) which used to treat epubs as zip files thus allowing me to review the epub. Now it defaults to opening the epub in Edge.

I Kludged a workaround so that if I right click on an epub I can select open with Windows Commander, which shows the contents of the epub, but this opens a new instance of Windows Commander.

As with any other file type you can use the built-in Open with dialog box do assign a different default app:
  1. Right-click an .epub file in Windows Explorer.
  2. Select Open With > Choose another app.
  3. Select Windows Commander
  4. Check Always use this app to open .epub files
  5. Click OK.

Thanks.
Although if Win Commander is open it still opens another instance of it.
Not sure how to get around that.
But at least that blasted Edge doesn't get involved!
