I'd be very surprised if Mathematica Player starts up faster than Mathematica. That aside, it should be possible to change the default application to open notebook files using the Finder's Get Info window. Additionally, Mathematica 7 includes a QuickLook plugin for Mac OS X 10.5. So you can select the file in the Finder and press the QuickLook button (or the space bar) to get an idea what's in the file. -Rob
