How to rebuild the LaunchServices database
Authored by: ddelo on Jan 05, '04 02:23:57PM

I tried this hint and it worked by removing duplicate items in my Open With contextual menu. But now, it seems the icons on certain file types are wrong even though double clicking on them opens them up in the correct application.

Has anyone seen this too and/or know how to fix it? ;-)

My mp3 files had strange icons.

A reboot fixed me right up.

When I have strange icons, at times, quiting Finder usually takes care of that...
