No, your solution will break some brilliant works of unnamed programmers who
think the only browser in existence was, is and will always be IE6. That
registry is set in stone and can not be altered in any way shape and form even
by Microsoft themselves. That there is no such thing as API and everything have
to be done by hand...

In short - some dumb programs take that registry entry, append URL to it and
execute it. Obviously they don't know how to parse "%1" and this will result in
invalid command line.
