associate a file to outlook express

[Laura Randall]

I tried to associate a PPS file with OUTLOOK EXPRESS by going to folders,
listing PPS as a new file and restarting computer. In outlook express , PPS
file gets "unknown" file response. On net, found instruction that to open
"EML" file to go to START, RUN, OPEN msimn/reg and click OK. Would this work
without damaging registry?
In general, how can file types be associated with OUTLOOK EXPRESS ? for
ADOBE, I was able to do this by clicking on a file, sholding the shift key
down, holding it down, and right clicking OK.
A different way might be to associate the Quick View Plus program I have to
OUTLOOK EXPRESS, but I don't know how to do this.
If I can't associate the file, I save the file to desktop and open using
Quick View Plus.

Outlook can't open PPS files. I think the most common viewer is
MsOffice PowerPoint. If you don't have MsOffice, you can download their
PPS Viewer here:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/9798/ppview97.aspx
It's easy to install and associates itself with the .pps files so they
will auto open when you click the attachment in Outlook and select
Open.

You dont want to associate *anything* with outlook express, other than its
default association
You need the correct application to open these various file types, or the
free viewers that may be available
eg MS has viewers for Excel, Powerpoint etc, and Adobe has Adobe Reader
