This isn't a good way to do this. You're dependent too much on the implementation rather than the result you want. Launch Services has what you need.

Creed Erickson's pointer to http://cocoa.mamasam.com/COCOADEV/2002/09/2/45230.php
is a better solution.

Why do they make it so dang difficult to find this kind of stuff in their documentation? This is the only documentation I could find on Launch Services, and even then it's a Tech Note:

Well, what can I say, we don't make it difficult on purpose. (Yes, notice the "we" there, although I'm merely a cog in Tech Pubs)

That is a pretty comprehensive look at Launch Services. It could probably be rolled into developer doc directly, but it did come up as the first item in the search.

I've filed a bug that examples of this would be a good addition to the Task documentation in Cocoa. And mentioned that Launch Services doc is hard to find.
