Hey everybody,
i have searched the forum but haven't found any explanation of the problem.

If , for example i click on a *.jpg file and use the right mouse button, I will get a suggestion under OPEN WITH , which program i would like to use to open the *.jpg file or any other file.

But check my attached picture i get 3 times the same program like Photoshop etc.

I have tried now for month but i can't find where i could adjust this.

I am using OS 10.4.11 and i am the only users configured on the system.

Is there any way or do I have to set the system up new.........

Thanks for all the suggestions

It's not a "pro" solution. It's quite easy.

1) Open "Terminal.app", found in /Applications.
2) Copy the following three lines of code:
Code: 
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\
Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister \
-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
(just highlight the three lines and press command-c)
3) In the Terminal.app window, paste the code (select Edit > Paste).
4) Press enter

You can also use the system utilities "Onyx" and/or "Cocktail", and look for the "Rebuild Launch Services Database" option and run that. The four-step solution I posted above would be much quicker than downloading a program, installing the program, finding the option and executing the option, though.
