How can I add a custom url handler on Windows. Like iTunes itms://

Question

I would like telnet://blah to open putty and not the native windows telnet client.

I don't even know what this 'feature' is called under windows so I'm having no luck find any information about it.

Thanks in advance, Jan

If it's simple, you can do it via the command line:

ftype telnet # view current binding
ftype telnet=\path\to\putty.exe %1

Otherwise you'll need to use the registry as previously posted.
