Is there any way to prevent the PowerPoint player from opening PPS file in fullscreen mode? Or is there a replacement for this player that can do this and is a full replacement for the player?

The 2010 Powerpoint Viewer application starts up windowed, but you would have to change file associations for .pps to the viewer kiosk software.

Available here

.PPS files open in full screen by nature. Change the extension of the file from .PPS to .PPT, and it will no more open in full screen mode.

Then I have to save the email attachment and rename it before opening. Your suggestion is a viable workaround, but unfortunately not convenient. Would like to have this behavior the default. – Yaba Jan 12 '11 at 10:23
