Macintosh programs use a document’s type and creator to launch particular applications from the Finder® automatically. Windows users normally do not have access to the Macintosh-specific type and creator information. With Access Connect, you can automatically map MS-DOS extensions to particular type/creator combinations. For example, you can map Adobe® Acrobat documents that have a PDF extension, to the Macintosh type “PDF” and creator “CARO.” Access Connect installs a number of default mappings for certain document types; you can change these at any time. You can create a new type and creator to assign to a document. You can also edit and delete types and creators.
