Regedit

[We Didnt_t start_the_fire]

Can anyone help me on how to edit/delete MS Windows apps directory.

More precisely, to change protocol association with apps.

Which Windows version? On Windows 10, protocol associations can be set via Settings - Default apps.

I can't, cant change nor remove.

You might have better luck if you right click on the file you want associated, choose open with, then more apps, then choose the program you want.

 

Doing a regedit to modify defaults isn't exactly the most straightforward with Windows 10

I did that, but that only modify file association, and as I understand it and experience it, protocol have priority and always open with this app for it. I have tried regedit, but does't work. I am guessing have to edit MS Store path or something, I have no idea how.

Microsoft doc is your friend:

Personally when it doesn't work i use "Default Program Editor" works on Win7 and up as far as i could experience.

I will maybe try to try them later, some deep dive though, just locking for a quick fix. I glanced default program editor, doesn't seem to work for my specialized case. But thanks, will try more deep sometime later.
