Windows 10: Choose default apps by protocol in registry

HelloI would like to change the default apps by protocol in the registry.These are following protocols that need to be changed in registry- SIP- SIPS- TELWhere are they in the registryRegardsJuan

Unable to change default app by protocol or filetype.

Hi, I don't have Acrobat installed. With Sumatra as my default pdf reader, that hyperlink to a pdf docoument opens in.. yes.. Sumatra. Changing to Edge:




the hyperlink opens in... yes.. Edge.

If, as seems the case, Bluebeam is correctly associated with pdf files, I can't say why the hyperlink fails. Your guess about the protocol may be right- I don't know. If you could make any change to that to test that theory, as you suggest, that would help.

If you wish to view the relevant registry key, a convenient way to get there is via free Filetypesman - a rt click option.

 

Non-Store Default Apps for a file protocol in windows 10

I have the same issue as Ajo, and this does not resolve it. When I attempt to set a default app by protocol (I want to open mailto: links in gmail, because the built-in mail app is completely nonfunctional), the options that pop up are as follows:

Mail

Outlook 2016

Look for an app in the Store

This clearly doesn't work. I first set Chrome to handle the mailto protocol, but clearly the OS takes precedence there. So I then installed the gmail chrome app, only to discover, to my shock, that my own machine, which I am an admin on, won't allow me to
open the links I visit in the apps I desire? Is there a registry workaround for this, or is Microsoft locking their users out of using their machines how they want to again?
