I refused to open sop: links in Sopcast. Is there anyway to reset it?

Super User Asked by Undry on December 25, 2021

sop:// links are trying to open in the browser (Chrome), so I have to copy the link. Is there any way to edit which program opens these links or initiate the "do you wish to open with Sopcast" message in Chrome? I just can’t find this setting.

I want to change the current behaviour so that Chrome does what I want when I click sop:// links.

Open the following URL:

chrome://settings/handlers

See if it is there so you can reset/change it.

If it is not there try this:

  1. Close chrome and kill all processes that have to do with Chrome.
  2. Go To %LOCALAPPDATA%GoogleChromeUser Data.
  3. Open Local State in a text editor.
  4. Search for Protocol or SOP.

If it's not there you can also search in %LOCALAPPDATA%GoogleChromeUser DataDefault and open Preferences in a text editor. Search for Protocol or SOP

Another possibility:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesGoogleChromeURLWhitelist]

"1"="sop://*"

or

"1"="sop:?*"

If none of your protocol handlers work, try turning them on in Chrome.

  1. Click the More Actions ( ⋮ ) menu.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Click Privacy and security.
  4. Click Site Settings.
  5. Click Additional permissions.
  6. Click Handlers.
  7. Click the switch next to Do not allow any site to handle protocols.

Turning on handlers in Chrome

If you only need to change a single handler, look for the protocol handler icon on the right side of the address bar:

Protocol handler setting

Click on the icon and select "Allow" or "Manage". Generally, any handler that has been blocked should appear in the Handlers settings window as shown below:

If you are using Windows 10, you can change the default protocol by:

  1. Open Settings -> Apps
  2. On the left pane select Default apps.
  3. On the right pane, scroll down and select "Choose default apps by protocol".
  4. Look for the protocol on the list, then click on the current default app (in your case Google Chrome)S select another app among the list of apps to set it as the new default app to open the protocol.
