Powerpoint files

[Drew]

Suddenly my computer will only open PPS files in Notepad automatically. I
used to get a file(or whatever) that poped up and asked what program to use
to read the file and I could pick powerpoint. Now that "file" is gone and it
automatically opens in Notepad which is unintelligable.

Drew,
Probably will have to change the file association, have a look here:

Try re-register PowerPoint. To do so, click Start > Run. Type the full path
of powerpnt.exe followed by /regserver.
