ICON DISPLAY PROBLEM
++++++++++++++++++

Here's an odd problem. I'm running OSX Tiger and have been experiencing some wired icon problems. It seems my MAC has started to assign different icons to files. So if I create an Illustrator file it will display as a Acrobat PDF icon. It still opens as an Illustrator file but it just looks WRONG!

I've checked the file info. All good. Jus wrong icon.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
 
Well something has become what we like to call corrupted. Try these steps:

1. Repair Permissions: Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and highlight your startup drive, then click on "Repair Permissions.
2. Reset your PRAM.

Then to change an icon back to application icon you want is easy. To do this follow these steps:

1. Highlight a known good icon (a file from the applications to want to change to).
2. Do a Get Info (Command button+i). When the Get Info window pops up highlight the icon in the left top corner and do a copy on it. Then close that window.
3. Then find the offending application icon you want to change back. Repeat a Get Info on that icon. Then when the Get Info pops up, highlight that icon (in the top left window) and then do a paste to it.

This should change the offending icon back to what you want it.
