I saw some patches from Misha Koshelev that might be related to this, maybe changing the key is acceptable now, or anyone know another fix? Thx<BR>

I checked on an XP installation with IE and the key there does _not_ have %1 but it has ddeexec subkeys which means it is using DDE to communicate.<BR>
If I have time, I may look into how hard it would be to add DDE for winebrowser (I don't think it should be too bad, but I'll have to check).<BR>
