Open Internet Explorer from Chrome using a protocol handler (ie:url)
handler, internet-explorer, protocol-handler, windows
Solution
After few tests, I move to another strategy. I'm targetin an intermediate batch script instead. And the batch split the protocol and the url, and open IE.
Here is the batch:
echo %1%
set var=%1
set var=%var:~4,-1%
Start "" "%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" %var%
Problem
I've followed these steps and it doesn't work correctly for me. Custom protocol handler in chrome Basically, I don't have a custom app. I just want to create an handler to open IE with a specific URL. Here are my reg: ``` Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ie] "URL Protocol"="\"\"" @="\"URL:IE Protocol\"" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ie\DefaultIcon] @="\"explorer.exe,1\"" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ie\shell] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ie\shell\open] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ie\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" \"%1\"" ``` It's working but... when I'm opening ie:www.google.com from Chrome, it ask to open IE but it keeps the "ie:" in the opened URL... which generate a endless loop. How can I fix that? Thanks
