Default How can I change the default program (IE) for opening hyperlinks .

When opening links in excel, the default program to view seems to be IE.
I would like to change that program to one of my graphic viewers. How can I
accomplish that? Thanx, Patrick

Hi,

I don't think you can control this in Excel. I believe it would be a file
association issue, which is controlled in Windows.

You might want to post to a Windows newsgroup.

You may want to read the 5th post in this thread:

or

Remember to make a note of the existing settings before you change them. Then
if it doesn't work, you can change back to the previous settings.
