   Not when you call it like it was here, first a reference to the exe-file,   
   then followed by a path to a file, then it shouldn't matter if the   
   file-extension is registered to the exe. At least is that how I think most   
   programs work.   
      
   Anyway, ShellExecuteA is a better way because then one don't have to worry   
   about which version of Powerpoint, where it is installed etc. If the user   
   doesn't have Powerpoint he might have installed the free pp-viewer from   
   Microsoft and then the path and exe file name will be different, etc, etc.
