I´ve made a link to a image file in my Excel Document. The document is a file a scanned and is 2 pages. When I click the link in Excel, the image always open in MS Paint but I want it to open in MS Imaging. I´ve changed the default program for bitmap images, but it´s still the same. Is there a way to change this? The reason for I want to open the image in MS Imaging is that the document is two scanned pages. Imaging displays both pages, but MS Paint only one.
Can you help me?
 
yeah I have in A3 a file location
C:\Users\TOPHERPUSA\Desktop\ZINES\25 websites\Business Card Website\Biz Ads\Buz Ads (1)\Wolfgang Puck (3).JPG

Usually I write in cell B3 this:
=HYPERLINK("file:\\\" & A733,A733)

That works to open music media in MediaMonkey, and Word documents in MS Word.

But I can't get the .JPG files to open
I get this message

(link to a picture of the message is above)


I don't know if it's an excel problem or a windows operating system problem or I don't have the right program or something.

I'm thinking though maybe there's some way I could add an "Open With" command to the Hyperlink Equation.
And I honestly wouldn't care if it did open in paint, at least it would be visible.
But Microsoft Office Picture Manager would be ideal, FastStone Image Viewer, or Windows Live Photo Gallery would be the 3 most preferable programs to view the photos.

Help if you can! Thanks
