Hello,

The Finder is probably just being a little sluggish in recognizing the change and updating the icons accordingly. If you double-click on one of the files, does it open in iTunes or BBEdit?

Also, changing the type/creator to "????" should work as an alternative to nulling them out.

Thanks,

Well sometimes icon changes don't occur until the desktop is rebuilt...

Then I tried:

    file.MacCreator=ChrB(0)+ChrB(0)+ChrB(0)+ChrB(0)

and now they don't have Type or Creator codes but they still have the bbedit icons.

I'm not sure what to make of this. The Finder doesn't pull icons out of thin air -- it assigns them from the type and creator codes, or if it doesn't have any, then from the extension.

So, what exactly do you mean by "the don't have Type or Creator" codes? How are you determining this?

Best,
