Hyperlink Bug Fix

[binar]

Please fix VideoLAN so that it is able to launch from any hyperlink setup in Excel, Word, Access, PowerPoint or from any other of the apps in Microsoft Office XP 2007 Suite.

Currently get the following error message: "No Program Registered To Open THis FIle" My guess is that VideoLAN is not installing correctly into the Windows XP registry and this is preventing the hyperlinks from working correctly.

Thank You.

I'm sorry but it doesn't work...

I forgot to say that's to run VLC under Excel 2000...

Have you an other solution ?

Thanks...

Look example from some other example that works perfectly. Then compare what VLC file extension does differently and do some changes by trial&error method.

Just save the following text as a *.reg-File, change vlc.mp3 to the file extention you need. Then simply double-click on the *. reg file to run:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.mp3\shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\Progra~1\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe\" --started-from-file \"%1\""

If the Open\Command addition is enough, I can supply patch for nsis installer file.

[enipee]

The Open\Command addition is enough, but it`s necessary for each file extension. If you want, i can send you the complete reg-File for all file-extensions.

[VLC_help]

No need.

Is there any way to create a hyperlink in a drop down menu in Microsoft Excel? Its actually a little more complicated than that. I would like to create a special hyperlink that when i choose an option in the drop down menu, it automatically opens a document. Is there any way to do this?
