[G4] How to Reset 10.4's Get Info "Open with" Option

[Steve Goldstein]

I get it, too.  It does indeed take a bit longer than before, or so it seems.  My "take" in the matter was that it was finding copies of the applications on other mounted hard drives (because I am a pack rat and never throw away smaller-capacity drives that I replace, but put them in external cases instead, I can have as many as four copies of an application that are discoverable).  But, that was only a guess, and I never bothered to unmount the other drives to check the theory.
