I am running 10.4.4 with Illustrator CS 2 and when saving
in the default '.AI' format the finder in turning them into
Preview formatted PDF format files that when double clicked
open in Preview - It's driving me mad...
Is there a fix ?

While that was my first thought too - Illustrator turns the
files into 'Previews Generic PDF' and making Illustrator the
default for opening PDFs is not my idea of a solution.
I have noticed that all Photoshop Jpegs and occasionally PSDs
are also turned into the generic Preview file format.

I agree that you don't want Illustrator the default for opening PDFs. But doing what I suggest would not accomplish that. You will only be changing the default application for "*.ai" files, not pdfs.
