[Ehsaan]

Hello,

Thanks for any help.

Install the pewerpoint viewer

Press Start->run - then type control folders- In the folder options box select file types and then scroll to pps (microsoft powerpoint slideshow)
Select "new" then in the action box type - Open.

In the Application used to perform this action type the path to your pptview file or select browse to find it
In my case this is what I had to type in - Please note the quotation marks are very important. Type exactly as shown:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint Viewer\pptview.exe" "%1"

Make sure use DDE is unchecked and then press O.K. and O.K. again

This is assuming your using powerpoint viewer to view these presentations. If you have the full program the path will probably be different.
