This issue occurs if the user has never set a default web browser, and has been 
fixed as 
part of revision 427. This fix makes it so that it should fall back to the 
system HTML 
handler, and will be included in 1.0.2, which should be released within the 
next day. 
Thanks!

What if the user HAS set a default browser? I use Opera 10 as my primary web 
browser, but IE 8 as the system default.

This should be fixed as of version 1.0.2. It shouldl now properly fall back to 
the 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, and then the HTML handler.
