Hello All, I have several versions of PowerPoint on my computer (2000, 2003
and 2007) and since 2007 is installed, it launches 2007 (of course) when a
PPT file is double clicked.

So, how do I get 2003 again to be triggered on a PPT-double click (I tried
setting folder options but that doesn't seem to work..?..)

Thanx!

Re-register PowerPoint 2003 in the run command.
Click Start > Run.
Type in the full path of Powerpnt.exe for 2003 followed by /regserver.
Should looks something like:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Powerpnt.exe" /regserver
