I have some documents - mostly XLS files - which have different file associations in Spotlight than in Finder. The XLS opens the way I want in Finder, with Mac MS Excel, but when I try to open it immediately from Spotlight it retains a previously assigned association, which is with Windows Excel in Parallels.
How can I reset these Spotlight-specific associations to be consistent with what I set in Finder?
I'm on Leopard (10.5.8)
I am afraid there is no "/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework" directory on my Mac. I only found it in the /Developer hierarchy, and it does not contain the lsregister executable. – ttarchala – 2009-12-01T10:04:18.230
@ttarchala: Sorry - added the proper path for 10.5 and 10.6 – Chealion – 2009-12-01T16:32:04.987
This worked, but I had to restart before I could see the results. – ttarchala – 2009-12-02T16:12:38.567
