Quadruplication in open with menu

[interestedparty]

Hi, I'm using a macbook pro OS 10.6.2, and whenever I right click and do open with, this occurs: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/4361/screenshot20091226at605.png

Any ideas what I can do?
thanks

There's a launch services database that gets corrupted... the usual solution is to execute this:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

From a terminal. See here. It's been a long-standing bug that doesn't show up super commonly, but seems to happen every once in a while.

Worked like a charm, glad to have the macbook working properly again!
