you need to make avant your default web browser and not IE. Fire Fox is my default web browser and when i have a hyperlink in excel it opens it in firefox and not ie. so make those changes and you should be all set

this is the little start button on the bottom left but i dont see a Set Program Access option. I have service Pack 1. Where do i need to go? txs

there will be two locations where you can find Set Program Access, the first is on the start panel. if its not there open the control panel and then go into Add or Remove Program and the option is on the left hand side on the bottom. i included two screen shots for help.
