File associations for PP Viewer 2007
I helped a friend setup her new Windows 7 HP desktop unit. It came with the 60
day trial suite of MS Office 2007 and PowerPoint 2007 Viewer preinstalled. I uninstalled the trialware package and it left the PP Viewer as an orphan. Is there any way to re-register all of the applicable file types other than using the "Open with" routine? Here's what I've tried so far: 1. Ran the /regserver parameter 2. Uninstalled then reinstalled the PP Viewer 3. Reinstalled the File Compatibility fix No joy for any of the above. The only files it will open at present are the pps type, which I used "Open with" to configure. |

File associations for PP Viewer 2007
Hi,
I am not really sure what other file types you want the PP viewers to open but another way of changing the default program would be by right clicking on a file(with the format you wish to use for PP viewer) and click on Properties. Select the " Change" command button and choose PP Viewer as a default. Hope this helps, Vicente Tulliano "David Webb" wrote: I helped a friend setup her new Windows 7 HP desktop unit.

Thanks for that tip.
FWIW, here's what MS says are all of the file types that the viewer could handle. (This is a quote from the download page) "Note PowerPoint Viewer 2007 registers with the .ppt, .pptx, .pptm, .pot, .potx, ..potm, .pps, .ppsx and .ppsm file extensions only if a version of PowerPoint is not installed on your computer. If registered, double-clicking on these file types will launch PowerPoint Viewer 2007." "vttotal" wrote in message ...
