Mac File question....

We're having some difficulty right now on my Dad's ibook. The default program for jpegs is QuickTime right now. I'd like to set Photoshop as the default for this extension. Where in the OS (9.1) are file extensions/default programs handled? Piece of cake for windows, but I've never found where on a Mac. One solution I've found is to re-install Photoshop, and tell it to handle jpegs, but is there another way?

This might be the wrong forum for this, but alternative operating systems forum doesn't usually get responses as fast.

Thanks

I think it's wrong, but it maybe someplace under the Command pulldown. Try asking at MacWorld.com -- it is a Mac forum afterall.

And yes, this is the wrong place regardless of where you think you'll get a quicker answer.

Hmm... I went into file exchange, and jpe, jpeg, and jpg were all set to quicktime. I changed this to PS, but when I view a folder with jpegs, they still open in QT... I tried rebooting but no go. Do you think it might be a setting with the digital camera? I'm not sure but I think the pics I was testing came from the camera (Fuji Finepix S1).
