Default "No program is registered to open this file" when clicking hyperlink

I have a user who is linking to a PDF file in an Excel document. It is on Windows 7 64bit Enterprise Edition and Excel 2010. All the other links work, but for some reason none of the PDF links do (they all give that error). I have checked, and .pdf is associated with Adobe Reader in Windows. The files open fine if you double click them, but she gets that error when accessing them from a link in her spreadsheet. Does anyone have any ideas?

Your problem description suggests a reqistry problem relating to Adobe Reader. To resolve this problem, you need to correct the file associations beyond what you can see via Open With. To do this:
1.Close the Adobe Reader.
2.Click Start and then click Run.
3.In the Open box, input the full path & filename for Adobe Reader, followed by /unregserver
4.Click Start and then click Run
5.Redo (3), but with /regserver
If you still get no joy, uninstall & reinstall Acrobat Reader to correctly register it in the Windows registry.

Default Not working

I tried your solution. It still isn't working. Any other suggestions? I tried the /unregserver to /regserver, repairing adobe, repairing office. Reinstalling adobe, everything I can think of. Still no luck. It worked fine until yesterday, and just quit working. Literally clicked one hyperlink, worked. clicked the next, I got the error. From then on it errors every time. Please help me! I'm getting very frustrated
