AFAIK this shouldn't be necessary when dealing with exs instruments. 
Most of my .exs files are typed as plain old SimpleText documents (in 
the Finder), but they show up in the EXS instrument-menu without any 
problem.

David, what I would try first is to put all .exs files on the PC in a 
zip-archive, and transfer _that_ to the Mac.  Unzip using Stuffit 
Expander (free from www.aladdinsys.com, and a must-have anyway). 
That way the .exs files at least won't get a generic PC type, but 
probably a generic "blank" type ("document").

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
