Get 2003 to open when double click file

T

troy@tlccreative

Just updated computers to have multiple versions of PPT
(97, 2000, 2002, 2003). All is perfect expect that when
double-clicking a file it opens in PPT 2000...

I have gone into the properties and changed the "opens
with" option (and checked the 'use always' button), but it
will not take (ie. defaults back to opening with 2000).
Experimenting with the Folder Options/File Types settings
to no avail.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks,
Troy

<path to 2003>\powerpnt.exe /regsever

And if that doesn't work, try it with /regserver instead. ;-)

THANKS, works perfectly now (and I used "regserver" too)...
