Why do multiple listings of the same program come up when clicking on the open with command & is there anyway to clean that out.

When opening up a photo - Preview shows up 3X, Correl shows up 2X etc...

That is an error in the 'Launch Services'
You will need to google the instructions on how to reset/rebuild the launch services database, as I do not know if the procedure varies between the different versions of OS X & because you did not provide the version number that you are using.
