The Mac & Forth Show 002 - The iPad Poets Society

Karl Madden is joined once again by Matt Barton, Ric McCorriston, Barry Gentleman and special Guest Alex G. Fox to discuss the week's Apple news in a thoughtful and insighful manner...No, honest...Really...Oh, Ok, you've got us.

The iPhone turns 7 years old.
Is the little phone a gateway device?
B.Y.O.D. is the order of the day.
The $999.99 app.
The perfect patent for drunken photography?
Will the drums of defeat sound for Beats?

Hi guys. 

I used to run Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro but don’t any longer. The problem is the right click ‘Open With...’ option still shows a load of BC extensions. Any idea how I can get rid of them?

Ric found the solution by entering the following on the Terminal Command Line: 
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

This should clear any extra extentions from the 'Open With...' menu and return them to the defaults.
