I have several of these games (SWS, PoP, Heroes MM VI) installed as well as UPlay but do not have any file associations for the type listed. Nor is "x-uplaypc" anywhere in the registry for the Windows shell.
I also have titles that use online login from Ubi such as ANNO 2070 installed.
I think the list of affected titles is far smaller than listed.
How and when is this associate set? Has someone identified which application in the installer performs it? Is it a particular UPlay version?
I don't doubt they are setting this up to allow them to run games from a browser. EA does it with Origin, Valve does it with Steam, as well as numerous other applications.
I don't doubt its existence but I think people are starting a wildfire without enough facts. I can't even seem to research this because it's not on my machine.
