Finder right click \. Baltwo has the solution. I have never seen this solution before. Great work.

FWIW, there’s a com.apple.LaunchServices.plist in my user’s Preferences folder.

Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy & paste in this one-liner, hit the return key, quit Terminal, and restart:

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

Vulnerability in Window 7 64-bit may be exploited by Safari | MacNN – StumbleUpon. A BSOD because of a badly executed browser instruction. That just shouldn’t happen. What doesn’t Microsoft understand that people want stable experiences not excuses?

Updating to Safari caused mac to freeze

It was interesting when I updated my computer to the newest current version of Safari 5.1.1. It seemed to cause my mac to freeze. I didn’t see the Finder, and there was no sign that the computer was responding even after waiting for 15 minutes. I tried to bring up the Force Quit Application dialog box but was unable. I held down the power key for 10 seconds and the computer turned off. When I started the computer up, everything seemed fine.

I had no other applications running when I did the update. Strange for  Safari to cause the system to crash. I wonder why?

Ok. Looks like I made a mistake above. Just to double-check I ran software update again. Guess what? It said that Safari was 5.1.2. So the first time I asked Software Update to install the update, it froze and didn’t complete. The second time I asked it to update, it applied the update and restarted the computer. This is the first time I remember having a problem with Software Update. Well really a problem with the Safari installer from that. I wonder why?
