Is there a way to update the list to something that is current?
Rebuild your desktop files. ;)
I did reboot in OS 9.22 and rebuilt the desktop. It did cut down on
the applications listed. I think that the multiple duplicates now are
System problems, for example, any application that runs in OS 9 or OS
X seems to show up twice. Whatever, it makes for A LOT of
applications to go through. Probably best to go the browse route.
