Here is my issue,

I have an excel list of a whole bunch of server I.P addresses. I would like to hyperlink each I.P address so that it directs me to a remote desktop connection(mstsc.exe).
I have stored the .rdp file on a network share so it is accessible to everyone who attempts to open that list.

However, when i click on the hyperlink in excel, i get a "No program is registered to open this file" error. The file association for .rdp file is correct as i can access the remote desktop connection
from the network share.

Here is the link i am using.

\\share1\share1\server1.rdp and so on.

Using windows 7/Excel 2010

Any help please? I am confused
