tell application "Finder"
-- Find any Explorer HTML documents

-- ALL OF THESE GENERATE THE FOLLOWING ERROR
-- Finder got an error: Can't get every document file of every folder of startup disk whose creator type = "MSIE"

-- set aList to get (every document file of every folder of the startup disk) whose {creator type:"MSIE"}
-- set aList to get (every document file of every folder of the startup disk) whose (creator type) is "MSIE"
-- set aList to get (every document file of every folder of the startup disk) whose (creator type is "MSIE")

set aList to get (every document file of every folder of the startup disk) whose (creator type is "MSIE")
repeat with f_ref in aList
set the (creator type) of f_ref to "sfri" -- Change the creator type to Safari
end repeat
end tell



Any ideas why this does not work ?

TIA
