How to make SRWare Iron Portable open links from other apps in already opened browser window?

Question

Links clicked in other applications, like MS Office or instant messengers open up in new browser window. It wouldn't be much of a problem, but that windows doesn't use any extensions or styles I have installed, which makes it almost unusable.

Of course, Iron is set as a default browser.

I need to know how to make Windows/Iron open links in the window that is already opened, or - if there isn't any - in a new window, but with all my extensions and profile data.

Open RegEdit and navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command and replace %PathToIronPortableFolder%\Iron\Iron.exe with %PathToIronPortableFolder%\IronPortable.exe

(you probably want to do same thing for https entry that is just below Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT_\http\...)
