All my InDesign files now have the PS logo on them even though they are still INDD files. I cannot open them InDesign. This happened after the latest InDesign update. HELP!

Your file name starts with a dot and an underscore. Windows might not like that as it tries to figure out if the whole file name is a file extesnion. Remove both of these and see if that solves it.

At 1 KB those are not document files. The naming is consistent with what I think is the resource fork on Mac OS (or at least matches the naming of the useless files found in a folder called _MacOS when you receive a Mac-packaged file on PC).

That aside, you need to reset the file association for .indd files. I'm preusming you are on Windows here, but you haven't given us OS specifics whcih we should have.

google your os and how to change program icons.

also, you can right click any file and click open with...

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
