Hello...

For some reason I no longer see the Show option when I right click on a .ppt
file to play. Any idea why or how I can get it back?
 
Morgan,
You mean when you right-click a file in Windows Explorer?
In Windows Explorer go to Tools menu, choose folder options, choose last
tab, look for the PowerPoint extension in the list and select it. Now click
the advanced button at the bottom of the dialogue, you should see a list of
possible actions, show should be one of them. If not click New, under action
type S&how, under program type "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\POWERPNT.EXE" /s "%1", click OK. That should do it, I am
using a Dutch version here so the wording could be slightly off.

I followed your instructions and this is what is listed: New, OPEN, Print,
Print To, Show... so Show should be in the right click dropdown but it isn't.
 
None of the items listed in the advanced tab for the .ppt file type are shown
when you right click on the file. Listed are New, Open, Print, Print To and
Show... but none of these are listed when you right click on .ppt file. I
need to fix this soon so I can right click and Show a .ppt file... any help
out there?
