revGoUrl Fails on Windows?

[Sivakatirswami]

The testing of Hinduism Today Digital Edition is going well. Actually  
there are very few expected bugs, but new unexpected caveats are  
coming up from the cracks:

Here is the most "egregious" of the problems: on many windows  
machines, it seems  the registry or some security things are set up  
in such a way that

revGoURL "http://www.example.org/info.html"
revGoURL "mailto:letters at hindu.org"

Are failing... Is there a way to over come this? My feeble  
understanding is that it is problem with the Windows Registry.

I'm sure other developers must have encountered this.. what is the  
work around? Or, is this a new problem with 2.7?

Looks like it is another good reason to embed Altuit's  browser!
