Scott – I had a bit of trouble with this, only in the sense that I had no …/A/Support folder under the path that you’ve provided. In my case, I was forced to go to /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/
to find lsregister.

In the end, the full command that I used was ‘/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user’ ; it did the trick just fine. Thanks for the post – always useful info.
