I got a picture here for you. I don't understand what happened in the last week to double all these apps on the list. :confused:

How can I remove one of each, or whatever…

You need to rebuild the launchservices database (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071102084155353).

This can also be done using the free and very useful Onyx Utility (http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/onyx_leopard.html).

It's funny that those all say .app, AFAIK that doesn't show up when I right click to choose an application.
