Actually I have TWO issues. The first one is: I accidentally drug an icon from the dock out onto the screen and it disappeared with that puff of smoke animation. It was the icon with the button popping out on a spring with the ampersand logo on the button. It usually next to the trash basket. I looked everywhere for it but cant seem to find it. I think that icon represents a shortcut to the apples homepage and is not all that important but damnit I want my icon! Does anyone know where the main program for it resides?
Issue number two: I tried to open an execute file, .exe (which i now know cant be opened with mac) and I took a stab at it and assigned text editer to try and, open it. I never checked anything that said "use this to open this type of file always" but yet now everytime i click on a .exe file it keeps trying to open it with text editer and I have tried EVERYTHING to undo it without success. Some of the buttons that seemed like they would be the ones to push, remain grayed out and dont let me push them. So basically my question is, Once youve chosen a program to try and open an extention with and it turns out to be the wrong one, how do you undo it and set it back to where it just asks you 'what do you want to open it with?' instead of continuously trying to open it with that wrong one? By the way, I called apple tech support themselves on BOTH of the above problems and they were stumped. I refuse to believe these what should be BASIC problems cant be fixed. Can anyone on these boards help me with these issues? Thanks
