title: Registering a java application as the default browser in Windows 10
body: <p>I am writing a java application, which can handle standard links (<code>http</code>/<code>https</code>). </p>
  
  <p>How can I register my application as the default program opening these links (aka default browser) in Windows 10?</p>
  
  <p>I know I can select the default browser in the windows settings, but it only shows a limited list, no way to hook up a custom program.</p>
  
  <p>I've found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50043664/how-do-i-set-a-python-program-as-the-default-web-browser-in-windows">this</a>, but it only shows how to do it pre-win10, plus I'm not sure it can be done in java.</p>
