Default How can I change the program used when following a hyperlink

I have a database which uses hyperlinks to take me to a set of image files,
gif & jpeg. I have recently moved to Firefox. If I click on a link to a gif
file it opens in Firefox, but if I do the same for a jpg it persists in using
IE. The file association for jpg files on the computer are to Photoshop. But
I prefer opening the links in the browser as I am only viewing, not editing,
the files

Anyone got any ideas

Default How can I change the program used when following a hyperlink

Use a button that when clicked calls this code (pass in the value on the
hyperlink field):
Public Sub OpenWebPage(url As String)

Dim browser As Variant

Set browser = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
browser.Navigate (url)
browser.StatusBar = False
browser.Toolbar = False
browser.visible = True
browser.Resizable = True
browser.AddressBar = False


End Sub
