Calling a link to a topic from Microsoft file explorer

I would like to keep the link to a topic from Mindmanager so I can build my own list of links to topics.
In the past, I am sure I could paste the link into Microsft Explorer and the laptop would open Mindmanager and would take me to the topic in the map directly.

This works for me, even though the mj-map protocol does not appear to be listed in the Windows settings > Apps > Default Apps > Choose Default Apps by protocol. There does not appear to be a mechanism for defining this in the settings. I would expect that it is created by the MindManager installer, so repairing the installation may work. If not then I think you can add a key in the registry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mj-map

This key contains an "open" command which launches the installed version of MindManager. The contents of a .reg file to create this key would be:

===============

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mj-map]

@="URL:MJ protocol"

"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mj-map\DefaultIcon]

@="C:\\Program Files\\MindManager 24\\MindManager.exe,1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mj-map\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mj-map\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mj-map\shell\open\command]

@="C:\\Program Files\\MindManager 24\\MindManager.exe \"%1\""
