A fix for an 'Open With: Not Applicable' errors
Authored by: kikjou on Aug 24, '04 06:35:08PM
I had a similar problem (some files opening with their default applications or folder icons changing to other icons). I simply deleted the two Desktop database files (Desktop DB and Desktop DF) at the root of my startup disk and rebooted. This fixed the problem. I deleted these two files in the terminal by typing
sudo rm /Desktop\ DB /Desktop\ DF
