You know what I meant tho, blank icons are hardly useful to many people.

hmm, you're right there. What threw me I guess was the fact that when you click the fireworks preview icon in the 'get info' window, it doesn't have the blue glow that happens when you select other icon types.

You misread what I wrote. That's exactly what happens on my mac aswell. But those files are still not 'bound' to photoshop. If you use Xray to see more detailed info, you'll see a PSD created by photoshop isn't bound to it. It opens with Photoshop because that's the default app for PSD files.

After you've done that, try this. 'Get info' on your PSD, go to the open with tab and select it to open with Illustrator. Don't close the info window, and then move it back to open with 'Photoshop'. Now the file will be bound to Photoshop, as confirmed with Xray.

See attachments below to see what I mean.
