Opening .pps attachment

[terrace]

On Windows XP a .pps attachment will open directly from the Outlook 2007 email because i have Powerpoint installed. On Windows 7 the .pps will not open directly from the attachment (with Powerpoint installed) received in the Hotmail account, so i have to open Powerpoint and then go to the attachment and it will open. Attachments show a message and how i`ve set it to open in Windows Media Player. Is there something else that should be set especially for Windows 7 to open .pps directly as it does on Windows XP. ?

  I went to Start>Default Programs>Set Associations (Windows 7) but can`t find "power point in there to change it to.

You must click "Browse" and then search for the powerpoint program within your "C" drive.

I have Windows 7 and Office 2007 installed.

The powerpoint program folder is located on my computer at the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12
