Many thanks in advance to your help
 
The PCB file holds the customizations and such.
Most of the things you'd set in Tools, Options are stored in the registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\PowerPoint

and the folders beneath it seem the best place to start. Note that the
"10.0" above is for PPT 2002.
PPT 2000 is 9.0, PPT 97 is 8.0, PPT 95 is best erased ;-)

Hello,

If you are using PowerPoint 2002 or PowerPoint 2003 and your desire to know
where the settings are stored are driven by a need to transfer the settings
from one computer to another computer running the same version of
PowerPoint/Office, then you don't really have to know where the settings
are. Instead, you can simply use the Microsoft Office Save My Settings
Wizard (one of the tools installed with PowerPoint/Office) to save your
settings and then, to restore them on another machine.

If you are using PowerPoint 2002 or PowerPoint 2003 and you have some other
need to know where the settings are stored (other than saving or
transferring settings between machines) and it's important to you (or
anyone else reading this message) for Office/PowerPoint to provide
additional tools to find where these settings are stored, don't forget to
send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)

Ah. You're using 2003 then. That seems to be the new kid on the block, the
one that either replaces or adds to what's stored in the PCB file. Last
time I looked at this, it was on a computer with 2003 and earlier versions
installed, so I wasn't sure whether 2003 used just the PIP or both that and
PCB.
