Windows 10: Set default file manager to Files UWP?

Hey guys I recently downloaded Files UWP from the windows store and it's a great file manager with a clean ui and great shortcuts and management, but I was wondering if there's a way to set it as my default manager; for example when I go to open a file from another application, I'd like it to use UWP instead of the stock files explorer. Any ideas?

Thanks!
