How do you set a protocol association with a standalone exe?
Hello everyone!
Since I'm not happy with how the Google Hangouts app has no way of integrating with the TEL url protocol, I've decided to create an application that will automatically copy, format and paste the phone link into Hangouts automatically. However, when I attempt to change the association though the control panel, it seems like Windows 10 no longer allows you to choose applications that aren't on the default list.
I've attempted to manually modify the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\tel" and "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tel" keys but this has not affected the association in any way, even after multiple restarts.
Is there any other way to do this? I've attempted to look for ways to add the executable to the programs list but I haven't found a solution.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
