have chosen TextEdit to open .nfo files by default but the .nfo files seem to sport the generic document icon in Finder. tried adding a custom icns file in TextEdit.app for .nfo but doesn't seem to work...

i've seen it mentioned before in MacAddict that a plist file somewhere needs to be edited so that an app such as TextEdit in this case can recognize the custom icon for a particular file extension.

ideas anyone?

TextEdit.app/Contents/Info.plist

Open in a text editor, search for one of the icon file names that's already supported, should be pretty self-explanatory what to copy/paste to add a new one.

BE SURE TO KEEP A BACKUP, YOU'LL ALMOST CERTAINLY SCREW IT UP AT LEAST ONCE!!!
