Nov 5, 2007 4:36 AM in response to silvershieldby McCrystal Image,I am having a very similar problem. I went in to the apple store and spent a few hours with the genius guys. We thought we had the answer in rebuilding the raid that the files reside on. It did not help with most of the files. I have looked around the internet quite a bit to see if there is an application to reset the resource forks on the file and there seems to be nothing that works. Any ideas? Have you come to a solution yet? -
Nov 5, 2007 7:31 AM in response to silvershieldby neutron,Go to the Finder, right click on the folder-app, and select Show Package Contents. Then select all of the files within and copy them to a new folder. It's not a very good fix if you have a lot of these folders, but you can try it.
Let me know.

Nov 5, 2007 7:47 AM in response to silvershieldby Klaus1,How is the flash drive formatted?
I should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). -
Nov 5, 2007 7:07 PM in response to neutronby silvershield,Thanks for suggestion. What is the 'folder-app'? I did right click on the grey exec icon but did not get the action you suggested. I think it is still treating it as a document rather than a folder.
thanks again

Nov 5, 2007 7:10 PM in response to Klaus1by silvershield,I'm not sure how the flashdrive is formatted as it is a workmates drive. As she uses a PC at home it may not be mac journalled. I have told her to format that way but i guess that shutting the door after the horse has bolted!
Thanks for your help

Nov 5, 2007 8:44 PM in response to silvershieldby rccharles,You can see what is going on with the file/folder by using terminal.
Does the file end with .exe?
