Wednesday evening 2/28 I discovered that my MacWrite 4.5 [] documents were suddenly listed as "Smilies Document" instead of [] "MacWrite Document." When I tried to open them I got a "no... this is probably not a virus. get a copy of "disinfectant 1.6" to check for possible known virus infections. however, in your case the culprit is most likely a file that had its "bundle bit" improperly set. that file would most likely have been called "smilies". if that file is no longer on your disk then rebuilding the desktop should solve your problem. i forget the key-combination offhand but i think that holding down the command and option keys when exiting an application to the finder should trigger a rebuild desktop dialog. -dave- hairston@henry.ece.cmu.edu
