    Setting the default application with two versions on the machine?


    I have both Sketchup 2019 and 2020 0n my machine. However, 2019 is the default application listed for the .skp files. Of course I get and error when it tries to open a file created in the newer 2020. I tried setting the default to 2020 through the file type properties but no go. Is there another way to set this?

    A simple Right click shows 2018 (removed) and 2019 under "open." Going to "Open with" shows 2019 twice.
