Yes, it's very much the case I'm afraid. Default Programs is user-specific.
I'm sure there is a Group Policy setting somewhere that might be able to
modify the default programs to apply to all users on the computer. I haven't
bothered to look but if it's a concern you might want to. Just type
"gpedit.msc" in your windows search bar and hit enter. Might be something
about it somewhere.
