I recently installed Stuffit Expander (9.01) on my eMac running Tiger.
I changed some of the File Mapping preferences within the program so
that downloads from Safari would be automatically handled. However, I
now find that many text files will launch Expander where before they
launched TextEdit. Any files with a .txt extension are ok, but files
such as .log or files without an extension (transfered from an old mac)
launch Expander. This happens even if the file has a text document
icon.

There doesn't seem to be any way to revert back to default settings in
the Stuffit preferences, and I can't find any System preferences which
control this.

I've tried opening the file using the contextual menu " always open
with" TextEdit box checked but it doesn't seem to stick beyond the
first launch and only applies to that file.

Any ideas?
