Viewing PowerPoint shows on our intranet

[Jack]

When i upload PowerPoint shows through Lotus Notes onto our intranet whenever
anyone comes to open them up they open up as normal PowerPoint files and not
PowerPoint shows. This has only recently started to happen and has coincided
with an organisational upgrade to Windows XP from NT. Has anyone got any
ideas on what may have caused this so that i can mention it to our network
people?

Do the files open in Internet Explorer or in PPT? Or something else?

In Windows NT they just open up as a show as they should and when you exit
out of it you go back to the Intranet page, but in Xp they open in PowerPoint
as a PowerPoint file instead of a show?

Thanks Steve, i found its a registry setting and have passed on this
information to our network people.
