I'm not sure what you mean. I tried:

(defun my-browse-url (url)
 (let ((file-name-handler-alist nil))
   (w32-shell-execute nil url)))

this works for my case where I can change the code around the calls to
w32-shell-execute or browse-url.

But what to do with calls to this in other code?

Or do you mean to change file-name-handler-alist and to remove
the "https?":

 ("\\`\\(https?\\|ftp\\|file\\|nfs\\)://" . url-file-handler)

With kind regards,
Stefan
