Go to solution Solved by Kuzma,
Go to "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data"

 

Open the "Local State" file using a text editor. Locate the section headed "protocol_handler" and the line indented under it containing whatever the protocol is (for example steam) Delete that entire line containing for example "steam" and nothing else. Save the file, ensuring that it is saved as "all files" or the default file type, with no file extension.

 

Reopen Chrome, and the next time you click on a magnet link it will ask you what program you would like to handle that protocol by default.

Hey, might be a dumb question.. but how do I re-allow a third party application (e.g. iTunes, Steam etc) to control specific links in my browser? I accidentally selected "deny" and had the option to apply to all future links selected. I'm using google chrome.
