Easy:

=HYPERLINK("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\winword.exe")

And can we have some Dialog on the Link?

Thanks "Garys Student"

There are two kinds of hyperlinks in Excel:
1. the function kind using =HYPERLINK()
2. the Insert > Hyperlink kind

The second kind supports the popup message on mouse-over
The first kind relies on the "friendly" name:

=HYPERLINK("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\winword.exe","ms word")
