setting default version of Quartus II in Windows 7

I installed Quartus II 14.0 but I don't want to switch over to it yet. I'm still running 13.0sp1. How do I make 13.0sp1 the default so that when I double-click a .qpf file the project opens in 13.0sp...

The described method worked well for me under Windows XP, but doesn't seem to work any more under 64-Bit Windows 7. Neither does starting a specific Quartus version switch the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR environment variable nor is the environment variable examined when deciding about the actual *.qpf open action.

I'm not yet sure if it's a general 64-Bit Quartus problem or something caused by specific settings on my computer.

I solved the problem temporarily by changing the file association with a file type manager tool but still wonder if I missed a Quartus specific way to switch the file association automatically?
