When i right click a file and choose 'open with', every application which can open the particular file is duplicated, meaning on popular filetypes the list is very long.
Every-single application is always duplicated , no mater what filetype.
Can anyone help me with this problem? If you would like a screenshot i could provide one.

Thanks

You could just launch 'Terminal' ('/Applications/Utilities/' folder) and enter ...

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

... (as a single line of code), and press the <return> key.

Else, you could go to 'Re: rebuilding the desktop: Mac OS X 10.0 - 10.3.9 *System*: MacFixItForums', copy the respective code, paste it into 'Script Editor' ('/Applications/AppleScript/' folder), and save as an application (via the drop down 'Save' sheet's 'File Format' popup menu). Once saved, run double-click on the application.
