find a powerpoint file in explorer; right click and choose open with. I f
powerpoint is listed in recommended programs then select it and also insure
always use this program selected check box. If not listed click down arrow on
other programs and select powerpoint there. Same rules as above; for
checkbox. And if not in other programs use browse button; locate powerpoint;
and again choose the always use this program.

Hope this helps
