Default Help opening pictures from hyperlinks

Using Excel 2000 I made a spreadsheet that tracks a colletion of comic books.
I one cell with each book I have inserted a hyperlink to a scan of the cover
of the book. The scans are stored on a second hard drive in my computer. I
would like those pictures to open with Picture and Fax Viewer and in fact
until recently they did. Now for some reason the pictures are opening with
Internet Explorer. I have checked the file association for .jpg files and
made sure that those files are associated with Picture and Fax Viewer. When
I open the files directly from Windows Explorer Picture and Fax Viewer opens
them.

I have tried adding new links with both the INSERT:HYPERLINK command and the
HYPERLINK formula, both open the pictures with IE

Any idea how I can get Excel to go back to opening the pictures with Window
and Fax viewer?

Thanks
