Fellow Forum Members,
I have tested this on Excel 2003 & 2007 with no success. My objective is to
setup 50 hyperlinks to 50 FLV files located in the same directory where my
Excel file is located. A FLV file is a Flash video file that does not play on
Microsoft MediaPlayer. The video player I'm using that plays FLV files is
known as VideoLAN (it's a free player).

Everytime I select the Excel hyperlink to a FLV video file I get the
following message:

"No registered program to open this file"

In short, Excel is refusing to play any media file I have associated to
VideoLAN which happens to be FLV, AVI and MP3 files.

However, Excel hyperlinks have no problem launching Microsoft MediaPlayer 9
to play a WMV file (which is the only file extension I have associated to
this player).

Can anyone help me in figuring out how to make hyperlinks setup in Excel
correctly launch the media player of my choice which happens to be VideoLAN.
Windows MediaPlayer does not play FLV files, and this is why I need to use
VideoLAN.

I have read the following link but it offers no solution:

How do I modify my Office 2007 XP registry so that my VideoLAN player is
acknowledged by my Excel 2007 application? And it stops showing me the
stupid message: "No registered program to open this file"

I would appreciate any help that will help me solve this problem. Thanks.
