225. Windows 7 - PowerPoint Viewer
Having problems viewing .pps files in Windows 7? My system came without the .pps defined as an extension. Unlike XP where you can simply ADD an extension and associate it to a program, W7 forces you to do a REGEDIT change. PowerPointViewer did not start when clicking a .pps file. Windows 7 knew nothing about a .pps file (CP, Default programs, Associate a file…). I found a registry edit at http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/unable-to-open-pps-ppt-from-windows-mail-or-wlm/ that, I think, allowed the .pps to show up. I still had the problem selecting the program until I went to CP,Programs and Features and did a REPAIR to PowerPointViewer. After that I found the module needed (PPTVIEW.EXE) in Program Files(x86)\Microsoft\Office12, I was now able to associate it with the newly created .pps entry created by the registry edit. W7 also removed the File Types tab from teh Folders Options rendering it useless too. All these problems started with Vista. Maybe some day MSFT will get it right again.
