I got this from somewhere else in a google search, it seems to have worked is all i know
This command is THE JESUS. It fixed all of the ridiculous suggestions in the "Open With" menu.
@johnsterling that's actually why I looked it up and saved it :)

on 10.6.6 I don't see the -domain command line option and domains are just separated by commas... ???
lsregister: [OPTIONS] [ ... ]
[ -apps [,domain]... ]
[ -libs [,domain]... ]
[ -all [,domain]... ]
Paths are searched for applications to register with the Launch Service database.
Valid domains are "system", "local", "network" and "user". Domains can also
be specified using only the first letter.
-kill Reset the Launch Services database before doing anything else
-seed If database isn't seeded, scan default locations for applications and libraries to register
-lint Print information about plist errors while registering bundles
-convert Register apps found in older LS database files
-lazy n Sleep for n seconds before registering/scanning
-r Recursive directory scan, do not recurse into packages or invisible directories
-R Recursive directory scan, descending into packages and invisible directories
-f force-update registration even if mod date is unchanged
-u unregister instead of register
-v Display progress information
-dump Display full database contents after registration
-h Display this help
