I recently downloaded PPT viewer onto my desktop. Now, the problem is that
when I open any PPTX files, it opens using Powerpoint Viewer vs. Powerpoint
2007. I know that I can go into Explorer and right-click on the PPTX file and
select Open With <Powerpoint 2007>. However, that adds steps to my tasks.
How do I revert back to the default of PPTX now that I have PPT Viewer?
Do a /regserver so that PowerPoint 2007 re-register itself and fix the file
association. Check out the steps here: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00355.htm

Do the following:
1. Right click on a .pptx file.
2. Select "Open With..." menu item.
3. Check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
box.
4. Select "Microsoft Office PowerPoint" in the list of programs.
5. Click OK button.
This should get you PowerPoint 2007 as the default program back.
