Removing web search from open with option.

[Durand]

Hello all,

For the benefit of power users, I wonder if there is a way to remove the web
search option from the open with option? I sort of remembered David Candy
mentioning something about it but passed it by without thinking about it at the
time. Now I'm considering applying that tweak as I felt the web search is a huge
drag when trying to find a program on the local disk to associate with an
unknown file type. IMO, I think this is potentially a security loophole, and I'd
like to close it if I could.
