Good Day Ladies and Gentlemen

We're currently Setting up a Windows 8.1 PC with our Starface SIP Client.

Once we finished installing the Client we manually assing the callto: and tel: protocol to it.

I used http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/aa767914(v=vs.85).aspx as Help.

We've a Strange issue with that.

As command we're using "C:\Program Files (x86)\STARFACE Client\STARFACE Client.exe" PlaceCall "+%1"

Which works perfectly for callto.

If we use the Same command on the Tel Protocol it asks which Program it should open the tel protocol with.

It only brings up Lync and Skype or get app from Store without an "Open With" Function.

If i make the same thing on a Windows 8.0 it does work Perfectly.

I tried to add it manually to the OpenWithList. (http://www.technorms.com/26760/add-remove-programs-open-menu-registry)

Which didn't work. I still can only choose Lync Skype or get app from app store. I've a Feeling Windows wants me to desperately use an app for the Tel Protocol.

Restoring the defaults and then Re-Adding the Registry KEY's didn't help neither.

Here the Full Registry code which we use.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto]
@="URL: CallTo Protocol"
"EditFlags"=hex:02,00,00,00
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\STARFACE Client\\STARFACE Client.exe\" PlaceCall \"+%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tel]
@="URL: Tel Protocol"
"EditFlags"=hex:02,00,00,00
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tel\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tel\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tel\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\STARFACE Client\\STARFACE Client.exe\" PlaceCall \"+%1\""

Thanks for your attention

Hi,

Why not use "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program" in Default Programs of Control Panel? it would be more convient and effective. Please have a try.

Hi,

I tried that as well.

It brings up: Lync, Skype or get App from Store.

Also no Open With Option...

wish I could vote this answer down.

windows doesn't allow protocol program selection anywhere other then "App Store" without editing the registry. as shown below.

Good answer here: https://support.counterpath.com/responses/a_simple_workaround_for_using_callto_and_tel_links_with_eyebeam

I finally fixed it.

I simply copied a few registry keys of skype, created a new ProgId for my Application and replaced the word skype in every registry key with "Starface"

All Registry Keys are like shown below:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Internet Call\Starface]
@="Starface"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Internet Call\Starface\Capabilities]
"ApplicationName"="Starface fr den Desktop"
"ApplicationDescription"="STARFACE ist eine vielfach ausgezeichnete Telefonanlage Made in Germany. Sie integriert sich komplett in die IT- und Kommunikationsstrukturen Ihres Unternehmens, basiert auf offenen Standards und arbeitet in Windows-, Linux- und Mac OS X-Umgebungen."
"ApplicationIcon"="C:\\Program Files\\STARFACE\\UC Client2\\PlaceCall.exe,0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Internet Call\Starface\Capabilities\URLAssociations]
"callto"="Starface.callto"
"tel"="Starface.callto"
"Starface"="Starface"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Internet Call\Starface\Protocols]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Internet Call\Starface\Protocols\callto]
@="URL:CallTo Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
