Open Internet Explorer from Chrome using a protocol handler (ie:url)

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

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%
