Description
Trying to debug a process by selecting 'Debug' in the Windows Process Manager just brings up a dialog
--------------------------- Qt Creator Debugger --------------------------- <html><body><b>Unexpected option: p</b><pre>Usage: qtcdebugger[-wow] [-help|-?|qtcreator|default|register|unregister] <process-id> <event-id> Options: -help, -?

It seems that , despite the registry entries under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug
, the debugger is always called with -p argument. Maybe qtcdebugger should just accept the argument?
