They are Microsoft PowerPoint files. I believe you can download a viewer if
you don't have PowerPoint.

A .pps file is a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. No, Windows Media
Player has no ability to open such files.

To open a .pps file, you need to have PowerPoint or some compatible
program installed (presumably you don't). Alternatively, if you just
want to view .pps files, not create them yourself, you can download a
free PowerPoint viewer from Microsoft. Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...40-14E1-467D-8DCA-19D2A8FD7485&displaylang=en

or http://tinyurl.com/u5bsa

Over and above the preceding, be aware that opening file attachments
is one of the *most* dangerous things you can do with your computer.
Many attachments can carry viruses or other malware, and if you open
them, you can easily get infected.

You often see advice not to open attachments from people you don't
know. I think that that's one of the most dangerous pieces of advice
you see around, because it implies that it's safe to do the
opposite--open attachments from friends and relatives. But many
viruses spread by sending themselves to everyone in the infected
party's address book, so attachments received from friends are perhaps
the *most* risky to open.

Even if the attachment legitimately comes from a friend, it can
contain a virus. I'm not suggesting that a friend is likely to send
you a virus on purpose, but if the friend is infected without
realizing it, any attachment he sends you is likely to also be
infected.

Personally I never open executable attachments at all, except from a
*very* few trusted sources, and then only when I'm expecting them.

Most of the files people send me that are power point presentations are
these idiotic tidbits that just waste my time and bandwidth.

Ignorance it bliss ;-)

There is a PowerPoint viewer around if you don't have the full version
installed on your PC.
