How do I add a program to the app list for default programs?
So I have an older version of skype that works very well with a click to call chrome extension (automatically calls when hyperlink tel is clicked). I tried to use the newest version skype from the W10 app store but it doesn't automatically call which is not what I need.
I've been looking everywhere on how to set the tel: protocol to open up for the older version skype that I have, but it only forces me to choose an app from the W10 store. This is really irritating me, and I'm really hating W10 right now.
I assume you can change something in the registry? If somebody could help me out, that would be wonderful! ]
tldr; W10 won't let me set an older version of skype as the default program to open.

Since Chrome is starting the app I assume it is a setting in Chrome or the extension.
