U guys who use aim, u know how on the internet, or in windows, u can do aim:goim?screenname=MesiahTheGreat&message=You+suck or mailto:mesiah@spez-2k.net&subject=Stink+Nuggets ?
I was wondering if anybody knows how one would go about making these shortcut type commands, for their own programs.

Any idea?

Yes, you can add protocols in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Yikes, this is scary, any idea how it works?

leet sh|t, cept i wish msdn would convert it into simple minded white boy terms, im sure if i read it about 58 times ill understand it. thnx

Read it once sentence at a time -- stop -- do what that sentence said to do.  Then continue.

The instructions are quite plain.

Or just read it 58 times

Or read it once.

i read it and u understand it for the most part, but when i look at aim keys it shows weird shit like

{feowavf-23rgveqfb-3hb:Htq3bgrew45}

thats what confuses the hell out of me.

i'm sorry
