ok, this function updates the registered services... thats great. Now how does one go and access all applications in said registered service? Any suggestions? starting points? etc..

thanks

I have no idea what you're talking about. Services don't contain applications.

All that method does is search the standard application directories and update the information gleaned from the plists therein.

From apple's site

- (void)findApplications
Examines all applications in the normal places (/Network/Applications, /Applications, /Developer/Applications) and updates the records of registered services and file types.

So lets get out of the Microsoft mid-set. There is a record containing Applications, I want to access that.
