How to rebuild the LaunchServices database
Authored by: MacOfTheEast on Jul 19, '05 06:42:23PM

I had no luck until I added the -f (force-update registration info even if mod date is unchanged) switch to the command line like so...

System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\
Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister \
-kill -r -f -domain local -domain system -domain user

Fixed me right up!
