>If I had this problem, I would reboot in OS9, and rebuild the >desktop - this re-connects files and their applications. Removing this file does the same thing and saves the rebooting: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist This file also can be deleted if the problem persists: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.UserCache.csstore Though it is related more to startup issues, I believe. Note that deleting these files will remove any previous Open With customizations you have done, and restore Finder settings to default as well. That is for Jag; running 10.1.x you have to remove these files: ~/Library/Preferences/LSApplications ~/Library/Preferences/LSClaimedTypes ~/Library/Preferences/LSSchemes Which no longer exist in Jag. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
