Richard,

Thanks for the reply. What I am trying to do is set a custom URL protocol as
described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914%28VS.85%29.aspx

This needs a subkey "URL Protocol" set to windows empty string. Now, won't
quote & quote be interpreted as not empty by windows subsystems?

ARGH!!!! Why using empty keys, why not hardwiring for something more
sensible such as URL Protocol = "True".

Damn windows "design" ideas.
