External browser CGI teleporting on Windows XP (Community)
External browser CGI teleporting on Windows XP // Community
May 8, 2002, 1:19pm
I seem to have a problem teleporting while using an external browser to
click the link on Windows XP. I'm almost certain that it worked when I was
running Windows 98. Does anyone have any ideas to why this may not work for
me? Or maybe you can just check yourself to see if it works on an external
browser from Windows 98, ME, 95, etc.
Thanks,
-Dion

Oh, another thought. It might be IE 6.0 rather than XP that is the problem
so anyone who has IE 6.0 or higher please check to see if you can get it to
work and let me know.
Thanks,

I have IE 6.0 and i had to follow the instructions on the aw mapper page for
it to work.
http://mapper.activeworlds.com/cgi-bin/map/tport-aw/+00000+00000?415,176
Excuse the coords i just picked a random one but the instructions are on the
bottom part.

Fixed!
Sleepy E. told me how to get it to work. For anyone else with Windows XP,
this is how ya do it.
1. Start -> Run...
2. Type 'Regedit' and hit enter
3. Go to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aworld.Document\shell\open\command]
4. Add a space and then a "%1" after the pathname in that value (without the
quotes).
5. Click enter
6. Exit Registry Editor
That's it! :-) Works fine for me.

actually I wouldn't recommend the average person just go in and change
things in their registry...my other reply shows to do it without touching
the registry. but oh well

That may work for IE6 but your way didn't allow me to use it through the
external browser (the one not within the active worlds program) while using
Windows XP. This way with the registry will allow it to work with a browser
not part of the Active Worlds program while using Windows XP :-)

Shouldn't be too much of a problem if the steps are explained accurately
that only someone stupid could mess it up.

Never underestimate stupidity. Doing so could easily come back to bite
you in the ass. Just look at AWC! :P

Those who fear the regedit or regedt32 program can still
do it, the only thing that is needed is a file with the
extension ".reg" (for example "aw.reg") and these 2 lines :
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aworld.Document\shell\open\command]
at =""C:\\Program files\\activeworlds\\aworld.exe" "%1""
If AW is installed in a different place, the path has
to be this other directory of course.
The multiple quote stuff is needed for the case that
the paths contain blanks. The syntax looks weird - but
the registry is microsoft crap.

That doesn't work. When you try to merge the file into the registry, it
doesn't recognize it as a registry file.
I believe that you have to put something in the top lines of the message
that explicitly declares it as a registry file, but I don't remember exactly
what.

you're right, I forgot the top line - it reads
REGEDIT4
