I have the file properties on my PC set to open gifs with the Windows Picture & Fax Viewer, and this works as expected when I click on a gif in Windows Explorer. However, if I create a hyperlink to the same gif file from a PowerPoint slide, Microsoft Photo Editor is invoked when I click on the link. I can't find any way in PowerPoint to change that.
 
That's strange because it works fine for me here in PowerPoint 2002 (opens in the Fax Viewer), but in PowerPoint 2003 it won't open at all if the default is set to the Fax Viewer. What version are you using?
