And I have it there as the default mailto app and default ics app. But that
still doesn't establish its location, nor anything other than that when I
click a mailto link or or .eml file or .ics file, it's Entourage that's
supposed to open up. And that's just a pref for my user anyway.
But you gave me an idea.
In /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.6B.csstore
I found:
ªôj”H+J§Kƒºö® ˇ˛APPLOPIMˇˇˇˇJ§F‚!≈}(Microsoft
Entourage"Backup HD JaguarF/Users/berkowit/Applications/Microsoft Office
2004/Microsoft Entourage/Volumes/Backup HD Jaguarˇˇ‹‹ªôsˇH+&…@[º˛u¥
ˇ˛ˇˇˇˇ
That gives the correct location. And the funny symbols may give an encoded
equivalent of "com.microsoft.Entourage" - although I can also find my
Entourage X app in this file too. There are only two references to
com.microsoft.Entourage, including this one:
Grid Icon”h$Contents/Resources/GridIcon.icnsÄdirgVMIPFileServer
Icon”»,Contents/Resources/IPFileServerIcon.icnsÄvrsiLÄtciptcpcipÄ
TCIPÄÄuÍÄz„Ä}Ä Ä+com.microsoft.EntourageÄ
But I suspect that the info identifying apps and their file locations are
buried somewhere in the file system itself, not in text files. It would be
good to know.
