[SOLVED] Can't replace DAZ 4 normal app with public build as standard app for .duf files

mding

When I double click on a duf. file I would like to load that file with the public build beta version instead of the official app. When I try settings in WIN 11 and choose that app, nothing changes and I end up in the standard app. Is it not possible to use beta as standard app?

You can easily open regedit.exe from C:\Windows, paste this string: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\duffile\shell\open\command in the filter field on the top, dbl-click default on the right to change the string value from 

"C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\DAZStudio.exe" "%1"

to

"C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4 Public Build\DAZStudio.exe" "%1" 

or "C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio6 Public Build\DAZStudio.exe" "%1"
