I suppose you talk about some kind of Linux(?) desktop. If yes: a little hint as to which one you talk about might help. My crystal ball is in repair right now, so i cannot see what you have installed on your system.
Every desktop has some sort of declaration list which attributes make for a certain kind of file. Usually this attribute is some kind of extension, in your case most probably ".fasta". You probably have linked this extension with the type you talk about. I suppose you can change that by right-clicking such a fasta-file, select something like "open with custom application" and then select "Remember this selection for files of this type".
I hope this helps.

I need to find out when a file has been created. 'ls -l' just lists the last date the file was modified, not the creation date. I have also noticed when viewing the attributes through NT, the last modified date is the same as the file creation date. I thought maybe this was a fault due to Samba.
