wav files in excel open up sndrec32.exe
 

XL2002
inserting hyperlinks to WAV files
clicking on links opens up sndrec32.exe
it opens only in the background ie we need to go to task manager to
end it
i dont want it to open in the sound recorder
it was opening with windows media player before but after some updates
it changed to sound recorder.
have associated wav files with WMP.
standalone wav files open with WMP
inserting links to mp3 or wma files and clicking on them opens up WMP.
is there anyway force wav hyperlinks to open up in WMP


thanks in advance

I doubt if this is an Excel-specific issue, probably a Windows /
Internet Explorer one.

If you get the same effect from a .WAV hyperlink in other file types
(e.g. Word document, HTML file in internet explorer) you should
probably try your question in an appropriate Windows newsgroup
