everytime I click on an iso file Powerpoint tries to open
it. Incidentally I now realise I have no program on my
computer that opens an iso file.
I would appreciate any advice. >>

Well, if you have nothing to open these files with anyway, why worry? Just
leave it.

If, later, you want to change the association, see my Web tutorial on
various ways you can do this.

I find Windows/Winfile.exe (open it and click on File/Associate) the
simplest method. If you later install a program that's designed to look at
this file type, chances are that it will set itself to do so anyway.
