Disables the ability to change the specified default handler (PDF viewer).
The UI configuration does not set any key in HKCU. Instead, changing a setting invokes the installer which sets the key in HKLM. The default and application behavior varies depending on what is installed. A value of 1 disables the user's ability to change the default handler. Possible values include:
0 (or null): Allow the user to change the default viewer.
1: Don't allow the user to change the default viewer.
