MSN Messenger is vulnerable to the shell: hole

Clicking a shell:windows\notepad.exe link in MSN Messenger 6.2.0137 launches Notepad. MSN Messenger even recognizes shell: as a protocol and helpfully hyperlinks the URL.

Ctrl+clicking a shell:windows\notepad.exe link in Microsoft Word 10.2627.3311 launches Notepad.

What others Windows programs (browsers, e-mail clients, IM clients, word processors, etc.) are vulnerable to the shell: hole?
