A hyperlink to a “.pdf” type file is created in an excel cell.

Clicking on this hyperlink opens the file.

The problem is that the default software to do this is Adobe Acrobat not the default software I have set in my Settings > Apps > Default Apps.

It seems that Excel has a mind of its own when it comes to this function/action (Opening a Hyperlink to a “.pdf ” file elsewhere in the computer).

This is a new recent problem as for many years the default setting was always used.

How to get excel to use the default software as it used to do? Help please!
