mac.nub Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hey All, I was trying to change a kext and had a bit of a stupid moment... instead of right click > Show Package Contents (then edit kext) I just double clicked the kext... it asked me what app I wanted to use to run the kext... selected textedit... and obviously it wouldn't load... problem is now the kext file type has been set to "folder", is there any way to change it back to how it was? I liked the kext icon and don't want them being displayed as folders... Cheers.

Anyway, too late i've re-installed already. I have everything on my external USB HD, so it only takes like an hour to re-install everything.
