I meant UTI, of course. And I'm looking for something less brute- force than

As I recall, from a discussion at WWDC last year, there is no way to do this. It is a problem, for example, for applications that have plugins too. A plugin registers for a UTI, then the user removes the plugin from the application. The computer still thinks the application is registered for that type because it has no way to tell Launch Services to re-assess its type information.
