Creating Custom Protocol (Windows 7)

Question

I\'ve been trying to create a custom protocol (open_php_file://) to open local files through the browser. I\'ve created the following registery-keys:

HKEY_CL         


        

Answer 1

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openphpfile]
@="\"URL:openphpfile Protocol\""
"EditFlags"=hex:02,00,00,00
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openphpfile\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\Users\\ABC\\Documents\\Programs\\CB\\Chunks\\CGI.exe\",0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openphpfile\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openphpfile\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openphpfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\ABC\\Documents\\Programs\\CB\\Chunks\\CGI.exe\" -c \"%1\""

Basically the problem was with the underscores in your protocol.Once removed everything started working fine.You can change the path of executable as per your wish i.e. "C:\Program Files (x86)\NuSphere\7.0\phped.exe".

I tried openphpfile:blast and it worked quite nicely :)

EDIT:

the problem with this solution is that %1 gets replaced with "open_php_file://[file]" instead of just "[file]". This way I need some sort of filter that chops "open_php_file://".

put a space after openphpfile:[Space]Your_Content and change parameter to %2 you will get the expected result

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openphpfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\ABC\\Documents\\Programs\\CB\\Chunks\\CGI.exe\" -c \"%2\""
