   Dim xScreen As Boolean
   xScreen = Application.ScreenUpdating
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   For Each xSh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
      If xSh.Type = msoPicture Then
         On Error Resume Next
         Range(xSh.TopLeftCell.Address).Offset(0, 3).Value = xSh.Hyperlink.Address
         On Error GoTo 0
      End If
