'Save excel file containing links as html, and these links open in file explorer, not web browser

I have an excel sheet with links to local folders. To make it more device "friendly" I save it as html. All is fine, but the links open on the web browser, not windows file explorer. I know that html does not open aps, but I do not know if opening a local folder with windows file explorer is considered an app, or I miss something.

Excel: =hyperlink("c:\testfolder")

Of course another suggestion on the matter is welcome...



Solution 1:[1]

add file:// to the link

=hyperlink("file://c:\testfolder")
