Starting Powerpoint from Email

[iowabucks]

I just did a fresh install of Vista on a new HD. I can't seem to get Power
Point to open files from email like i used to. If i try it now i get " This
file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
Create an association in the set associations control panel."

All PP file types are already set to use power point viewer in the set
associations control panel. I just checked it.

But if you open PP, then look for the file it has no problem running it. You
just can't run it from clicking on the file itself.

How do i change this?

Hi

My understanding is that this is a 'security feature' which I don't believe
can be changed. Save the file to your HD then double click it - that should
work.
