>Is there a way in OS X 10.2.1 to set a default application to startup when >opening from a file of a certain type? Thanks for your input. Git info on the document; go to Open With; choose the app you want. If you click "Change All" it will set that as the default app for all similar files. For example, the default app for .JPG is Preview, if you select a .JPG file and select Photoshop, then select change all, every .JPG file will open in photoshop instead of preview when double clicked. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
