Well, thank you, but this (of course) only affects files that already are stored on your hard disk. But I received a HTML file three days ago – that's what brought my attention to this matter – and it has the "MSIE" creator code, too. And while I can't be sure that I never used the procedure you describe on HTML files, I _am_ sure a) that I didn't do this within the last three days; b) that _if_ I did it at some point in the past, I wouldn't have set the "Open with" option to Internet Explorer… So while I know how to change the creator code of existing files, I wonder what sets the creator code of files that arrive on my system. Kind regards, Tobias Jung
