[QUOTE="smagfx, post: 1121275, member: 174670"] Thank you for your reply. I've already tried changing the "open with" property of a file using the process you described and clicking "change all". This changes the application that opens when I double click the file, the icon, and the kind, but this is not what I want though. I haven't found any good actionscript editors so I just want to open .as files with TextEdit. This is what I have it set up to do now. However choosing TextEdit makes the 'kind' revert back to "AppleSingle archive" and the icon is the ugly blank paper icon. What do I have to do to specify a custom text for kind? As for the icons, I was able to change the icon of one .as file with the link you gave me. How can I apply this change to all the other .as files I have as well as new ones that are created? [/QUOTE]
