open current page url with anything
I want to open local pdf files with edge for its convenient marking and saving, however no addons can meet my demand, so I write one.
This addon based on the custom url protocol, so you need to add custom url protocol to your system.
- install the addon
- add the url protocol settings of regedit, by creating a file naming
OpenWithEdge.reg, then edit with notepad, and copy the following code into it, then save and double click the file.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openedge]
@="URL:OPEN EDGE"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openedge\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openedge\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\openedge\shell\open\command]
@="powershell.exe -WindowStyle hidden -NoProfile -Command \"Invoke-Command { $args = '%1'; $args = $args -Replace 'openedge://', ''; $args = $args -Replace '//', '://'; $args = $args -Replace ':://', '://'; Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe' -ArgumentList $args }\""
check carefully of the msedge.exe path in the last line:
-FilePath 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe':
- click the addon icon to open current page with edge
- uninstall the addon
- remove the url protocol
