Default how to prevent excel to change hyperlink path towards external

what I did is:
I typed friendly name inside the cell and then clicked hyperlink icon from
Insert menu, browse to the file, selected it and it worked.
my problem appeared afterwards. like I said, excel somehow managed to change
hyperlink path...

I just tried with worksheet function HYPERLINK like it is described in HELP,
but it is not working at all.
when I enter everything needed to retrieve specific pdf document, as a
result i get #NAME? shown inside the cell, error message after the click.

Have you used worksheet function HYPERLINK()

Check out the help on

I have cca 150 entries in 6 column table made in excel 2007. One of those 6
columns contains links to pdf files saved in separate directory on the same
hard disk drive.
Somehow, (I do not how it happens€¦) excel changes hyperlink paths towards
pdf documents.
My pdf docs are saved in a folder:
c:\users\AUSER\Auser documents\pdfs\classX
However, excel somehow changes this path to NONEXISTING one:
c:\users\AUSER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\pdf s\classX

How to prevent excel from changing original path towars my pdf documents?
