| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Default Programs - Program Default Associations Bill, PowerPoint Viewer 2007 will still need to be installed. You would click on the arrow to the left of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to expand it, then continue to click on the arrows for each key until you reach HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\powerpointviewer.show.11 , HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\powerpointviewer.show.11\shelf , and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\powerpointviewer.show.11\shelf\show . When you get to show, right click on it and click on Rename. Type Open and press Enter. Do this for the both keys listed in that link for both the PPS and PPT file extensions. Unable to open .PPS attachments directly from Windows Mail in Windows Vista Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: Default Programs - Program Default Associations I run Windows Vista Premium Home 64. I sometimes get emails with atts, or just the emails which have a blank picture with a small red x in the upper left hand corner. They won't open and say it does not have an assoc to open and to create an assos in the set assoc control panel. How do I do that? Bill Weaver |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Default Programs - Program Default Associations No problem Bill. A file extension is the right part after the dot in a file name that identifies what type of file it is. For example, filename.txt for a text file. By default file extensions are hidden. This tutorial will show you how to unhide them, and help see what they are better. File Name Extension Hope this helps, Shawn |
