I had a similar experience with the Money Matters program on the
Uptime Disk. (I never saw the A written on folders, but my Mac 
would freeze if I tried to click on the icon.)
 A local mac guru showed me what was wrong--the problem is
that its icon has no mask.  Resedit has a default mask making feature
which can be used to fix it.  There may of course be other things
wrong with other copies, but mine seems to work fine now.
