Look for stuff you or your family members installed.
Anyone who shares a PC will find out that the other members of the family have installed programs to personalize their experience. While many of these programs are innocuous, since they are mostly free they aren't the most efficient programs. Occasionally, they can take over the functions of a program you're more familiar with. Programs like office suites, PDF readers, and other graphics programs come to mind. On a Windows PC, right-click on the file you're opening, then select open with, then "Choose Default Program".
Once you choose your default program, every time you double-click that type of file, the program you like will open up. On the Mac, it's a similar process: command-click on a file, select get info, then select a program under "Open With". If you want to be even more efficient, uninstall the program your family member downloaded, so it doesn't interfere in the future.
