How to open notes: // url in the IBM Notes client instead of the IBM Notes Browser Plugin
I have an XPages application that contains some notes: // document links. The application is used by Internet Explorer which has the IBM Notes Browser Plugin installed and we are not allowed to uninstall it.
Is there a way to prepare notes: // url to force the target document to open in the standalone IBM Notes client instead of a plugin?

Do you want to change it for yourself? Or for all users of the application. Just for your notes: // links or for everyone?
It is controlled by a registry setting: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notes\shell\open\command
. If you have permission, changing this setting will change it for all Notes links. Average binding (without plugin) will look something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Notes\notes.exe" -defini "%1"
.
If you want to change the behavior for all users, but only for your application references, I think you will have to use a different prefix instead notes://
and create a script to set the appropriate registry entry for that prefix on your users machines. See here for more information.
