    Folks,
    How do you set the default application per filetype in OS X?
    For example, making PDFs open with Acrobat rather than Preview when double clicked?

    Cheers,
    S.

    I can't remember the place that you do it like the old file preference thing in OS9 but you can right click it and open with - and mark the always use this checkbox. I'm 99% sure you can do that, just like on windows.
