For Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, the file name is the PPT.pcb file. For Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, the file name is the PPT10.pcb file. For Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, the file name is the PPT11.pcb file.

The .pcb file is stored in one of the following locations:
For Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003, the following is the .pcb file location:
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \Application Data\Microsoft\Office
Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), the following is the .pcb file location :
