    Hi guys

    I have a question regarding files names with software. I'd tried many times associating files like .rar with unrarx or .avi with VLC but every time after opening that file, it'll automatically switch back to the default software.

    I'd already checked always open with this software. But it doesn't seem to work.

    I'm using Leopard 10.5.1
