when I created a hyperlink in excel worksheet to a jpeg image located on my
hard drive, why does internet explorer open the image??

I am using Office 2000 and IE7 +XP S3

I would have expected my default image editor like photoeditor, or windows
fax and
picture viewer to open the image.

please advise

the full post is in the link below (i think)
