In the case of URL scheme helper preferences, IC gateways through
to Launch Services. Launch Services has no way to delete a URL
scheme helper (other than by removing all the applications that
claim this URL scheme), so you get this error.
About the only workaround that I can think of is, to disable the
URL scheme, install your own URL scheme handler (that does
nothing), and then set that as the default.
You can do this, at least since 10.4, with Launch Services directly.

Hi, I had a utility that I was launching from Safari by saying
myutil://blah and I was setting the default handler for myutil with
ICSetPref(). Now I am trying it in 10.4 and it is failing. When I
look at the list of helper apps for myutil in the RCDefaultApp
preference pane from:
http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp
I see that there are 3 apps listed. For instance, the debug
version of my app, and another app with a different creator code
that I had set before, along with the app I just set.
I tried using ICDeletePref() to just delete the default handler and
then install my app with ICSetPref(), but ICDeletePref() no longer
works, as answered previously in this thread.
My question is, how do I remove those other apps I am seeing, or
how do I set my app as the default, above those other two? Please
tell me this is possible through internet config, cuz I am about at
the end of my rope as far as APIs getting yanked out from under me :-/
One more thing, I have been playing with the newest version of
RCDefaultApp and I can disable the entries for myutil, but I can't
choose other ones. I believe that my ~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file is corrupted somehow. If I
delete the entry for myutil. I have tried throwing away
com.apple.LaunchServices.plist but still no change. Is there a
central database or utility for all of this where I can delete the
entry somehow? Also I am wondering how much the plist of the app
plays into all of this. The old app has a CFBundleURLSchemes of
myutil even though its creator differs from the app I am trying to
set as the default with ICSetPref(). What I mean is, the creators
are MYU1 and MUY2 but both have CFBundleURLSchemes of myutil. Thanx,
