HyperLink and File Association

[Vince]

I recently learned about HYPERLINK (CNTRL-K) thanks to this NewsGroup
replies. There are now several files (PDF and JPG) linked to with
hyperlinks.

My problem now seems to be that a jpeg file is opened with JASC
software, rather than with IrfanView. No problem when opening an Adobe
pdf file.

How may I change the file association used by XL's hyperlinks such
that IrfanView is used as default for opening jpeg images ?

Should have mentioned that I am using MS Office 97-Excel on a Windows
XP Pro computer (no network, yet).
