[QUOTE="technologist, post: 68196, member: 4134"] In OS 9, there is an invisible "creator code" in each file which determines which program will open it. When you create a new file (say, in Photoshop) the program embeds its own creator code in that file. (So your Photoshop JPEGS will always open in Photoshop.) When you download a file off the internet, the creator code is determined by the settings in the Internet control panel. To adjust them, open the Internet control panel, click on Advanced, and click on File Mapping. Scroll through the list to find .jpg, and click Change. For files you've already downloaded, you'll need to modify the creator code. (The creator code for Picture Viewer is [b]ogle[/b], by the way.) You can do this with [URL=http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12658]this AppleScript[/URL], for example. [/QUOTE]
