Using a set of folders in the contextual menus items folder that offer various actions, one of which is "set creator to". You put an alias of or an example of the doc(s) you want to be able to change to and then that option appears in a submenu when control clicking. So I could have a folder full of mp3 files - select all and control click and choose 'set creator to' > iTunes and they all are changed in one go. It is Freeware I believe and is invaluable in my Mac usage.
In fact there are so many wonderful little ways of making the Mac OS work to your preference that I expect Mac OSX would feel like a big step backwards - until the shareware community get appropriate modification out - (Oh maybe they have but I cant run it anyway yet). The CMTools can be found via: http://www.versiontracker.com Actions that CMTools offers via control click (or Finderpop click) are: Application menu Compress Copy to Decompress Launcher Lock Make Alias in Move to Open Using Refresh menus Set Creator & Type to Set Creator to Set Type to Unlock Any of the above can be simply turned off and you only use the ones that are useful.
