I'm using WindowsXP and Office XP (2002). Today I uninstalled PPViewer97 and
installed PowerPoint Viewer 2007. With the old viewer, when I clicked a .pps
file, the file would just "open". But with the new viewer, when I click a
.pps file, the PowerPoint Viewer window appears briefly before the file opens.
Can I prevent the PowerPoint 2007 window from appearing before the .pps file
appears? And, if so, how?
Thanks,
Milt

Thank you Glenna,
I haven't tried it yet, but that seems to be what I'm looking for.
One more question though. Does that mean that I must leave the shortcut on
my desktop? Or can I hide it somewhere else?

You could try right clicking it and "pin to start menu"
If there is already a shoercut you can also right click > properties>
shortcut > start in and add the 'space /s' (for silent start) to the end of
the address NB NOT within the quotes
