Default Problems with File Assoc. and Hyperlinks

I have my .png files set to open with Irfanview. However when these files
are opened from excel using a hyperlink the file association is not
recognised. No problem with .tiff but would prefer to use .png

Thanks

Using Excel 97 on Windows 98 Excel recognises my association for png
(PHOTOED) when using a hyperlink.

What versions of Excel and Windows are you using?

What are all the settings on
Windows Explorer / View / File Types / PNG
and the Edit dialog that you can reach from there?

Sorry I'm not picking up on the signifigance of photoed

What versions of Excel and Windows are you using?


Using Windows xp home Version 2002 sp1, Offiice 2000 with Excel updated to
sp3, and IrfanView 3.8.


What are all the settings on
Windows Explorer / View / File Types / PNG
and the Edit dialog that you can reach from there?


"Open with IrfanView. You have customized files with extension "PNG".
To restore these files to their default type(PNG Image), click Restore."

Unfortunately I can not relate to this customization either, I guess the
answer is to click Resore and see what happens?

The file associations are set in windows not IrfanView.

Thanks for your responce.
