Right now something happened that I have never seen before the last two decades with any of my Macs.
I got a zip file with some pdfs and unzipped it with Stuffit Standard 7.03 at my 9.2.2 G4. Subsequently I drag&dropped the files (with generic Icons) to the Acrobat Reader 5.05 Icon. And the Mac OS Finder started to copy the Files into the same folder – this time with PDF icons – before Acrobat Reader was launched and opened this copied files instead of the original ones.
Whats going on here? Any ideas?
It is not a real problem but a never before seen activity. ;)

I've had a similar experience a couple of time. One of the times I rebuilt the desktop and all was good again.
The other times that didn't work and I had to do a re-install of the OS.
In both cases I never found out what the actual issue was or if there was another way to fix it.
But in the second case where I couldn't fix it I had been messing with moving stuff around n the system folder to try to break things.

My problem is 'breaking things' when I'm trying NOT to!! ;D ;D
