When I try to open SM using a shortcut to this URL

I don't get the error if SM is already open to another page.
I tried this both from the link in your message (SeaMonkey already
running) and from a URL shortcut (SeaMonkey not running, launched by
selecting the shortcut). It worked for me in both cases.
Something in your preferences or extensions might be causing this. Do
you have scripts or cookies blocked, even if only partially? Have you
tried this in Safe Mode?
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64)
SeaMonkey 2.39
Cookies for the originating Web site only
I just tried this again, and it works for me.
I also looked at bug #495988, cited elsewhere in this thread. Comments
#10 and #11 in that bug report cite a problem caused by NoActiveHandler
in the Windows registry entry
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SeamonkeyURL\shel\open\ddeexec\
I do not see NoActiveHandler in that registry key on my PC.
Okay now I remember how I fixed it
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SeamonkeyURL\shell\open\ddeexec\
has some legacy default value "\"%1\",,0,0,,,," which I cleared and
subkey "NoActivateHandler"
I fixed it with this reg file I created
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;; Fix the DDE error 'There was a Problem Sending the Command to the
Program'
;;
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SeaMonkeyURL\shell\open\ddeexec]
;; This is garbage some earlier version put in that causes
;; error so delete default value
;; @="\"%1\",,0,0,,,,"
@=""
;; And remove this this subkey
;; "NoActivateHandler"=""
"NoActivateHandler"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SeaMonkeyURL\shell\open\ddeexec\Application]
@="SeaMonkey"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SeaMonkeyURL\shell\open\ddeexec\Topic]
@="WWW_OpenURL"
Why when I install a new version released that the SM install did not
change those entries ?
I first take a backup.
Then I remove the current SM version.
Then I install from scratch(except the profiles) the new SM version.
SM install .exe should position correctly the registry entries .... If
this is not the case - then I can say that this is another SM BUG !!!
