Winzip overrides Powerpoint

[PierreL]

When I receive PPT attachment and I try to open them, even if it recognize
this is PPT ("open with default application powerpoint") it opens a winzip
window and I cannot open the file. It also happens with files PPT files I
have sent and want to check. Also happens with another computer.

I checked the file association and it is Powerpoint. Where is this bug
coming from? I did not compact these files.

Thanks,
Pierre

Found the solution: one of the PPT file sent to us had the Propriety "open
with Winzip". Why would this false propriety impose itself on all other ppt
files is beyond me, but anyway it works now.

I'm glad you found the solution Pierre.

I've not seen that before, but will now know to keep my eyes open for it.
Thank you.
