THe 2nd line from the bottom reads "AppleSingle archive" = "[COLOR="Blue"]AppleSingle archive[/COLOR]" If you REALLY want to change the listed name you change the text in the second mention of it (I colored it blue here" To change the icon.. Find the icon you want to use, and (make sure it is in .icns format, Rename it bah-as.icns and drop it in the folder before the folder you just edited… namely[CODE] /System/Library/CoreServices/Archive\ Utility.app/Contents/Resources/ [/CODE] Now logout.. and back in. Let me know if that does it for you. [B][U][COLOR="Red"]****WARNING: Be Careful in here.. Make back-ups etc*****[/COLOR][/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
