How do you want to open this file? - Every time
First, a bit of background.
I scan all of my bills and papers into a jpg file, and I use MS Excel (2007) to keep an index of the image files. If I need to refer to a saved bill or document, I just click on the hyperlink in Excel, and the jpg opens in Windows Photo Viewer.
This process has been working just fine for several years. It's survived through OS upgrades and two versions of Office.
But, yesterday my HDD crashed and I had to reinstall everything. Now, when I click on a hyperlink in Excel, I get "How do you want to open this file?".
But, the problem only occurs when clicking on the hyperlink in Excel. I can double click on any jpg file and Windows Photo Viewer opens it just fine. Just not from within Excel.
I don't know if I have an Excel problem or a Windows 10 problem. The Excel help I've received tells me that Excel uses the Windows file association, so "it can't be an Excel problem".
It's only one extra click, but annoying. Any insight from the forum would be appreciated.
