If I want to change the default application that opens PDF files... and I select the PDF file, use "Get Info" and click on the Open With pull down menu ...I get multiple Adobe Acrobats in the list (3 of them). Distiller is also there 3 times, probably because I updated it 2 already.
Where are all these app names stored? How can I reduce the number from 3 to only one?
Thanks,
t

Do you have older versions sitting in your Applications folder? If so, you could delete them. You may also have OS9 versions of those apps in your OS9 Applications folder.

I have the same problem. I dont have multiple versions, or versions in the OS9 apps folder. I think it might have something to do with Acrobat, cause it seems to be the only app doing it.....

Isn't there a system cache file that keeps track of all these apps? Maybe that needs to be reset...

You are right...this only happens with Adobe apps. Acrobat, Illustrator and Distiller all have these issues. I have at least 2 or 3 items that are the same of those...
Any ideas where this list gets updated in OSX?

I had the same problem right after I got my G5. Here is teh cure:
1) Quit all running applications.
(2) Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.6B.csstore file in your Computer > Mac OS X > Library > Caches folder.
(3) Type your Admin password when prompted to authenticate the operation performed in step (2).
(4) Empty the Trash.
(5) Log Out then Log In, or Restart.
Log back in and it should show only one instance.
Works like a charm.

Well, didnt work for me. That "com.apple.LaunchServices.6B.csstore" file doesn't come back for me to try and re-trash either. Any ideas?
