Create a powerpoint mime type on your server so the server will tell
the browser that it is serving a document of type powerpoint (call it
something like application/powerpoint with ext .ppt). Then configure
your browser to recognize the new mime type and execute powerpoint.
Most administrators forget that you have to configure the server to
serve a specific kind of document. Note that powerpoint isn't
recognized as an official mime type, so anyone who might be getting at
your documents from offsite needs to know the local mime type that
you've set up.

Could someone tell me how to set up PowerPoint to
automatically launch as a helper application for *.ppt
files using Netscape?
Thanks
