You are in the wrong newsgroup.
You should address this issue to either Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail
newsgroup.
Try the tutorial link below first :
RE : Unable to open attachments directly from WM and WLM

If you still have problem, then please answer the following :
Do you have Internet Explorer 8 ( IE8 ) installed ?
If yes, do you have the following update installed via Windows Update center
or Microsoft Update ?
Cumulative Security Update for IE8 ( KB972260) .......... you NEED it.

Probably this is the best place to ask.

Tell us though
Which Email program?
PowerPoint or Free Viewer - which version?

What does' doesn't open' mean
- Nothing happens?
- pps opens in edit mode?
- something else?

I'm not sure just creating file associations will help you.

If PPT doesn't open from your email program, then check this:

Can't open attached presentations from within Outlook Express after applying

Your most straightforward workaround may be to save the file to your
harddrive and then double-click to open it.
