OpenWithAny

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.

Usage (currently only for Edge)

install

1. install the addon
2. 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':

1. click the addon icon to open current page with edge

Uninstall

1. uninstall the addon
2. remove the url protocol
