CS5 took over my computer

I installed CS5 yesterday. It changed all my InDesign CS4 file icons to the CS5 icon and in the Get Info window it's set to launch CS5. I tried changing the default opening app to CS4 but it doesn't stick. I got a note from my compadre that "InDesign will save as CS5 by default" but I don't think that's possible if you're in CS4...he probably had CS5 running and didn't realize it.

Did I make a mistake by installing this?

(p.s. Thanks Skryber, it "worked")

Here is what others have used.

I cannot install it as I am locked out of just about everything on these computers.

Normal behavior. There is a little app, or used to be, that you could install and it would make it open in the version it was created for. Not sure of the name but someone will have it.

Edit: There it is. Stiv beat me to it.

by default, your machine relates all .indd files to the MOST recent version you have installed. In your case, it's CS5, now.
completely normal, in an abby normal way.

If you're intent on opening in the version it was created in, which the DCS Standards Committee recommends, then really you'd have to start at lower versions until you don't strike the 'missing plugins/can't open' message. Then you're in the version it was created in, presumably. The Rorohiko app in Stiv's link does this automatically. Down Under here, people tend to keep up to date, especially in the entertainment/advertising arena our stuff comes from. They're rarely older than CS5 these days, occasionally CS4.
Besides, mostly PDF in now. Apart from a couple of regulars who still give us the natives-only.

I know what Gnub's talking about. I'm just wondering if I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

we've been using Soxy for a couple months here, it works just as advertised. Be sure to take the time on install to set your "open with" preferences, there are a few options that are easy to understand.

It's not free. That's too expensive for me.

I changed Get Info to open with CS4 but it ignores my commands. If no InDesign is running, double clicking a file will launch CS5. If InDesign CS4 is open then the file opens in CS4.

Lame.

Didn't cost *me* anything. :)  Boss is ok about buying software usually except when it comes to ridiculous prices like our xmpie upgrade or Quark 9

I think it was $20 per seat or something. We got a volume license for 4-5 seats I think.
