Same as for Tiger, except that the path to ‘lsregister’ changed:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework\
/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework\
/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local \
-domain system -domain user

Switching to Leopard
Last friday, I bought the brand new Leopard. I started installing the new 10.5 on my Mac Pro from scratch.
Everything went fine, except for time machine. This is the result of my investigations, which took quite some time to figure out:
1. Disable time machine
2. Disable spotlight on every internal and external harddisk
3. Enable spotlight disk by disk waiting upon spotlight having finished after each disk
4. Enable time machine (see below)
If you don’t do it this way, it might take up a very long time for spotlight an certainly for time machine to finish its first job.
Update:If you still experience problems with backing up all at once:
1. Format your backup drive as described in other posts (GUID)
2. Exclude everything, except 1 directory with just 50MB or something in it.
3. Start TM
4. Gradually remove some exclusions, so TM can continue the backup… really gradually.
Success
Just replace /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg with your picture
1. System Preferences
2. Accounts
3. Unlock
4. Right click the account: advanced options

Finally someone came up with a very – yes I mean very – fast VNC client.
Very easy to install and lightning fast, compared to all others.
You can find it all at JollysFastVNC’s site
You need to put your Mac in the same workgroup as your Windows PC. To do this open “Directory Access” (Applications > Utilities > Directory Access). Click on the padlock in the bottom left corner to make changes; you will be prompted for your password. If “SMB” is not ticked off, then tick it off. Select “SMB” and hit the “Configure…” button. Now enter the name of your Windows workgroup.
