Hyperlink problems

[Deputy K.J. McNatt]

I am running Excel 2007. I have a spreadsheet that I have hyperlinks to .BMP
files. I have my computer setting to use MS Picture Viewer as default
program, but when I click the link from within Excel it uses MS Paint to open
the file. How can I set it to be MS Picture Viewer?

 

[MRT]

1. Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
2. Select "File Types" tab.
3. Select BMP from "Extensions" and press "Advanced" button.
4. Select "Open" from "Actions" and press "Edit" button.
5. Type Picture Viewer pass or select Picture Viewer exe file (ois.exe?) through "Browse".
6 .Save and exit Folder Options.
