.zip icon difficulties.

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
Hey,



Recently I removed StuffIt from my Mac and now when I have a .zip file sitting on my desktop it has a generic white icon rather than the default .zip icon (which I seem to remember was white with a zip through the middle).



I was wondering if there is way of getting .zip files associated with that icon once more. I realise this is a pretty minor issue, but I'd like to be able to fix this and get the default .zip icon assigned to all .zip files again.



After searching the Apple discussion pages I came across this page - http://discussions.apple.com/thread....733697&#733697 and a user linked the poster to a page that had a terminal command to fix this issue - unfortunately the link is now dead.



Many thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

    1) Select a zip file.

    2) From the File menu, choose Get Info.

    3) In the Open with: section, choose BOMArchiveHelper from the popup menu.

    4) Click Change All…*and confirm.



    Some icons may not immediately refresh, but the association will be proper.
