You need to register your URI Scheme in the windows registry follow the path of the registry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/
  your-protocol-name/
    (Default)    "URL:your-protocol-name Protocol"
    URL Protocol ""
    shell/
      open/
        command/
          (Default) PathToExecutable

Practical example:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/
   alert/
      (Default) = "URL:Alert Protocol"
      URL Protocol = ""
      DefaultIcon
         (Default) = "alert.exe,1"
      shell/
         open/
            command/
               (Default) = "C:\Program Files\Alert\alert.exe" "%1"
