With the microsoft upgrade, I tried to open powerpoint and it asked which app to open it with.  I accidentally pressed notepad - now I can't get any of my powerpoint presentations to display.  How do I take notepad off of powerpoint?

    Go to Control Panel | Programs & Features, click to select Microsoft Office, then at the top of the list of programs, click Change.  When asked, choose Quick Repair.

    That should be enough to get PowerPoint files pointed back at PowerPoint again.
