    I want to ADD .pps to the file associated with PowerPointViewer2007. There
    doesn't seem to be an 'add' option.
    How does one do this?

    Follow tae Sung advice, but also check checkbox which says "always use this
    program to open file sof this type" or something to that effect, you will
    see after you right click on any PPS file and select Open With....

    There appears to be a well-known problem with file associations under
    Windows Vista spontaneously dissolving without warning. Floating around is a
    fix to the problem, I think, but I can't put my finger on it, sorry. Perhaps
    another user can help?
