Is there a way that I can associate .pps files with Outlook Express 6?
I have MS Power Point Viewer 2003 on my hard drive and it works with my Mozilla Thunderbird, but not with my daughter's OE. I have looked in Folder OptionsFile Types and find power point is shown in the APPLICATION USED TO PERFORM ACTION. I am perplexed that .pps files can be opened directly in Thunderbird email, but show the following popup when I try to open the attachment in OE..."This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." Anyone expalnation and assistance would be appreciated, Mary |
