How to manually add the graal protocol

[MrOmega]

So I was setting up windows 7 and I couldn't get "graal://" protocol to register with my system. So here's what I did.
This method should work for Windows XP/Vista/ and 7.

Create a new .txt file and save it as "graal.reg" (include quotes)
In this file copy/paste this into it.

PHP Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\graal]
@="URL:graal Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\graal\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\graal\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\graal\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\PathToGraal\\Graal\\Graal.exe\" \"%1\"" 


With the last line

PHP Code:

@="\"C:\\PathToGraal\\Graal\\Graal.exe\" \"%1\"" 


You need to point the path to graal.exe
for example my path is...

PHP Code:

@="\"C:\\Users\\MyName\\Graal\\Graal.exe\" \"%1\"" 


be sure to leave the quotes and to use the double backslashes.

Next save the file, and close your text editor. You should see a new file with a white page and a little sky blue rubix cube coming apart over it as the icon. Double-Click this file and confirm you want to add it to your registry. (On Vista/7, if you have the UAC enabled click continue)

As I stated, I could not get the 'graal://' protocol to work for me, so if others run into this issue on windows they now have reference to fix it. This happened to me after I reinstalled Windows 7. Figure I spread knowledge and help others that get this issue. That's all. :P
