I have tried asking this question to the Excel crew, but nobody could help
me there, so now I try here, as the problem goes for Powerpoint (and Word
and Access) as well.

In Explorer jpg files are associated with Irfanview, and clicking the file
in Explorers opens the file i Irfanview, OK.
But when I insert a hyperlink to a jpg file in Powerpoint, PhotorEditor is
always used for opening then file.
I have tried changing the association to PhotoShopor other programs in
Explorer, and in clicking in Explorer now opens the file in Photoshop or any
other selected program, but the hyperlink keeps opening in PhotoEditor. Is
there anyway I can change this? That is make hyperlinks open with the
program I decide, not PP.

I've been searching thru the registry file, but dont seem to be able to find
any key, that contains the program used to open jpg files via a hyperlink.

Using Win XP Pro and PP XP and by the way, when I renames Photoed.exe to
something else, I couldnt open the hyperlink at all. In stead an
installation process for Photoeditor was initated and I was asked for my
Office Cd :-(
