certain file types still being associated with parallels even after uninstall

[ashjamben]

hope some of you guys can help me out on this one

i'm abit ocd with stuff on my computer, so stuff like this really bothers me. i had parallels one my computer for a little while whilst i needed windows. now i don't i got rid of the partition and uninstalled parallels. but, .exe files and some other files still show the parallels logo, as if it wants to open them in parallels.

is there any way i can change this? i've removed everything i can think of in preferences, application support, startup items, receipts, etc to do with parallels but to no avail. please help!

If you want to set (or change) a default application for a certain file type, right click on one of the files and select 'Get Info'

In the “Get Info” options, you can easily select which application you would like to be the default for opening your file by clicking "open with".

After selecting the default app for the single file, apply it to all files of the same type by clicking on the “Change All” button in that same Get Info window.

Choose to apply to all files of this type.
