    This is typically what works in Windows, but there is no way I can find to change the preferences globally for a file type. All PSD, AI, and ID files default to XD, and nothing changes in the file properties dialog when applying the changed preference. It is not acceptable to expect to choose a different application for opening any of these CC files. Please fix this. I deal with hundreds of files in a day and this extra step is ridiculous.
