Once the database has been modified, users should save it and logout then log back in to invoke the changes.I don't have Word or Windows so I tried solving your issue with Libreoffice and.

In this tag users would change the protocol from 'webcal' to 'http' or 'https', and then change the handler from '' to '' in order to have Safari be the default application for handling the http protocol. The domain of a program is usually the name of the program's preferences file without the 'plist' in it.ДЇor a network protocol, the '' entry would look like this: To add any file type or change the application, users would have to either edit the field with 'cfg' to the desired filetype, or change the '' entry to the domain of a desired program. This example ensures the program 'TextEdit' opens any file that has '.cfg' as the filetype extension. Then duplicate one of the '' tag entries, depending on whether a protocol or filetype is desired.ДЇor a filetype, the dict type should look like the following: Manually edit the launch services file Users can ensure the desired application opens a specific URL protocol or file type by opening the database file in a text editor. Remove the file from the user preferences folder and restart the computer, and then try to assign an application to a filetype or change the default browser again. If users do this, all URL protocol and filetype bindings will be reset to their defaults, so users will have to set them up again. Remove the file Removing the launch services database will have OS X create another one, which should help if there is a corruption problem in the file. Users might try toggling the permissions to something other than 'Reand & Write' and then change it back to ensure the permissions are properly associated with the file. Then get information on the file and ensure that both the current user '(Me)' is listed in the 'Sharing & Permissions' list with 'Read & Write' as the permissions, and the 'Locked' option is not checked.

Download the utility from this website, and install it. Rebuild the launchservices database with OnyX The multipurpose maintenance utility OnyX has a function for rebuilding the launchservices database, which may help with this problem. Additionally, users can manually edit the file to ensure a specific application is used for launching specific filetypes or protocols. As such, users must ensure this file is readable, as well as ensure it's not corrupt. If it is corrupt or otherwise inaccessible then the system will not be able to load any default settings changes that have been set by the user. This file is a small database that contains associations of filetype and protocol tags with application handler schemes. When users change the default application to use, regardless of whether it's for a filetype or for a network protocol, the changes are stored in the user's 'Launch Services' file. The same user quoted above noticed that setting text files to open with the application 'MacVim' had them reverting to opening with TextEdit after reboot. In addition to the default browser not sticking, users might also have problems with other default applications. After that, the default browser is back to Safari.' 'When I set the default browser to 'Firefox' in the Safari settings, that setting only survives until the next reboot.

This option might also be available from the browser's menus or preferences as well, and while it should work, some users are finding their default browser always seems to revert back to previous settings.ДЄpple Discussions poster Michael Goerz writes: When users launch Safari, Firefox, or other browsers, they may be prompted with the option to set the current browser as the default.
