Hi,

We've got a Win2k SP4 server being access by some OS X 10.3.8 Mac's. Things were working fine until recently, when for some reason all the user's .ai and .eps files on this particular server were seen as Unix Executable files by the Mac's. We have other Windows servers being used by the Mac's that don't have this problem.

Is there a utility I can run to fix this, besides Chkdsk (which didn't seem to work)? 


Hi Jason!

Can you select one or multiple files of the same type and correct them by opening a Get Info window and setting the "Open with" to the correct application?

Thanks for the response! We can do that for individual files, but it will only work once, then revert back. If we change the extension to ..ai or .eps then it will hold, but then file name will be foo.ai.ai. This wouldn't be that big a deal, but we've got thousands of files that now have this problem.
