Title
Body
I'm trying to register my application that will handle opening of links, e,g, http://stackoverflow.com . I need to do this explicitly for Windows 8, I have itworking in earlier versions of Windows. According to MSDN this has changed in Win8. I've been through the Default Programs page on MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144154.aspx) page on MSDN. It provides a great walkthrough on handling file types but is light on details for protocols. Registering an Application to a URL Protocol only goes over the steps involved in setting up a new protocol, but not how to correctly add a new handler to an existing protocol. I've also tried the registry settings outlined in other SO posts. One more thing, the application is not a Metro/Windows Store App, so adding an entry in the manifest won't work for me.
