Make TrueView the default DWG application

Does anybody now what registry keys and values I need to manipulate to make dwg files always open with TrueView?

Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What is happening now? Each copy of AutoCAD "takes back" the DWG association
when you use it. Even if you set the registry value, the other AutoCADs will
stomp on it.

Autodesk DWG TrueView is a copy of AutoCAD. It should behave like AutoCAD.
If you open a DWG using DWG TrueView, it should be the default application
until you open a DWG with some other AutoCAD.

That is unfortunately not the case when I have tried it.
