Hi Ed,
Look under View -> Show View Options. Make sure "Show Icon Preview"
is unchecked.
Cheers, Matt.

Hi Ed
thanks very much for your response. I see from their website that it
focuses on Adobe products and Im not sure it will help to change all
icons in the Finder. What I have noticed is that when I do a 'Get
Info' on say an excel file, there is still the original icon in the
top bar of the Get info window but not in the Preview section.? The
same for Word or a Pdf? In addition when I copy one of the files
from its folder and place it on the desktop it becomes represented
by the app icon!
Also after going to a folder that I had transfered from my other
MacBook (that has Tiger) all original icons on the files are
systematically replaced with the new 'first page icon' in a matter
of seconds, so there must be some process going on that may be
reversed.
The reason Im interested in reverting back to the original icons is
that it is easier for me to see what file Im looking for at a
glance. My work involves mainly writing reports (Word), analysis of
data (Excel) and reading papers (Pdfs) so it really helps to see them.
thanks again for any advice here
kind regards
chris

Hi WA Muggers
I have recently made the move to 10.5 on a MacBook Pro and have a
couple of issues I cant resolve and would appreciate some help
Firstly I have not been able to print using my small Lexmark x1100
inkjet series printer/scanner that previously worked well with
10.4.9. I have checked the Lexmark website and followed their
suggestion to obtain the right driver by loading them from the
10.5 CD. The only one that I found was Gutenprint v5.1.3 however
it does not print or even talk to the printer. Has anyone been
able to get the correct driver?
The second issue with 10.5 is its 'look and feel' in Finder using
the column view. Is it possible to change this so that I can see
all my working files with their application icon rather than the
first page? For example the excel and word icons or the Acrobat
Reader icon rather than the first page of each file which I cant
actually read and dont know what sort of file it is until I check
its extension? I have tried to find somewhere within the help and
options but with no success.
thanks for any help with with these requests
kind regards to all
Chris
