How to rebuild the LaunchServices database
Authored by: fx2ooo on Nov 07, '05 02:26:16AM
Hope I can keep this thread going a bit longer... I tried the command given (adding the -f):

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister 
-kill -r -f -domain local -domain system -domain user
I got a 'no such file or directory' result. Following the path, I found that the Support folder was an alias. Using the pathname to the original worked like a charm:

/System/Library/FrameWorks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister 
> -kill -r -f -domain local -domain system -domain user
Have wanted to fix this for who knows how long. Thanks a lot! Just a tidbit: if you still have multiple copies of Opera in this menu, as I did, check your Studio MX 2004 Flash and Contribute directories if you have them.
