I have a HyperLinkEdit control with Text as "Media". When I click on it, it opens
C:\WINDOWS\Media in windows explorer.
When I changed Text to other than it like "MediaList" instead of "Media", it
works fine.
But I want Text to be "Media".
Could anyone help me out please?

I guess you speak about the DeveloperExpress control "HyperLinkEdit". The solution for this is quite easy. Just set the caption property to "Media" so that it displays "Media" in the UI, but set the "Text" property to something like "MediaLink". If the caption property is empty, it uses the text property for displaying in the UI.
This is explained here:
