registry entries for Windows 7

Hi

I managed to improve WinSCP integration with Windows (added FTP protocol and inclusion of SCTP/SFTP in Windows own file extension management) by including few more entries in its registry settings.

I guess other users might be interested. Here is my "winscp.reg" file (omitted Classes\scp and Classes\sftp sections, since they are fine as registered by WinSCP):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ftp]

@="URL: FTP Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
"EditFlags"=dword:00000002
"BrowserFlags"=dword:00000008

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ftp\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinSCP\\WinSCP.exe\",0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ftp\shell]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ftp\shell\open]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ftp\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinSCP\\WinSCP.exe\" /unsafe \"%1\""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications]
"WinSCP"="SOFTWARE\\Martin Prikryl\\WinSCP 2\\Capabilities"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Capabilities]
"ApplicationDescription"="WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client and FTP client for Windows."
"ApplicationIcon"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinSCP\\WinSCP.exe\",0"
"ApplicationName"="WinSCP"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Capabilities\UrlAssociations]
"ftp"="ftp"
"scp"="scp"
"sftp"="sftp"
