HI everyone

Could someone please advise me how to select the default application that is used by the OS when new documents, pictures, sound files, etc etc are copied or downloaded to the hard drive?

For example, I have a Powerbook 15" G4 1000 running 10.3.3. I have downloaded some reference papers that are pdf's. The icon of these papers in the folder on the HD does not show the red Acrobat reader icon indicating they are pdf's?

I have reader version 5 on the drive but have to open it then open the pdf paper, rather than clicking directly on the pdf.

thanks for any help. It has got to be a simple one, but I just cant remember how to tell OSX how to do it

Chris
