Illustrator files keep opening in an older version

[joanep77155259]

After opening an Illustrator file in an older version CS3 all my files are opening in CS3 inslead of CS6.  Even the icons now show as CS3, I still have the option to open it with CS6 by selecting when I right click but when I double click on the actual file, it automaticaly opens in CS3.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Tks

On a Mac while in the Finder  you can click on one of your ai files and type command-i to get the info window. In that Window you can click on the "Open with:" pull-down menu and choose the version of Illustrator you want the file to open with. After you've done that click on the "Change All" button below the pull-down and all similar files on your machine should be converted. See the screen shots below:

Remove the illustrator CS3. CS6 will honor all of the effects you made in CS3. no need to keep CS3
