The executable we use to register protocol handlers (regprot.exe) on Windows doesn't check whether the /Protocol parameters is supplied. If it isn't, the entire HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes branch is deleted, rendering Windows unusable. Of course no one should ever run this executable, but the consequences of a mistaken click are very serious.
