Generally you must have MS Office's PowerPoint, but you can download a powerpoint
viewer. But when I try to associate something, I right-click and try to choose
Open with; older Windows allowed that when you choose Open with, and browse to the
executable file of PowerPoint or its viewer. I have this printed out:

Open Control Panel. In Control Panel Home, click Programs, and then click Make a
file type always open in a specific program. Or, in the Classic View, open Default
Programs and then click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
Highlight a file type in the list and click Change program. Unfortunately, neither
method in Vista allows you to choose anything but the default programs, such as the
programs listed in your files' context menus. If you want complete control over
your file types, use this tool: Method #3 (File Type Doctor)
