why not have DC++ read from the registry what protocals the user has installed?

just scan all registry keys in the root of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for the URL Protocal value. Will take a while. There may be a better way to do it...

The problem is not what application to launch when firing a URL, the problem is allowing DC++ to recognize ftps and https as valid protocols. Look at HubFrame.cpp:604 or so in HubFrame::onLButton() to see how DC++ does this currently. It gets the text from the window then does a comparison on the first portion of it... Once DC++ knows it can handle that url (which it currently doesn't know with https/ftps), it does a ShellExecute on it, so whatever the default protocol handler is should pick up on it.
