Every once in a while, Finder decides to open one of my '.doc' files in Notetaker. Yet the icon is still pure Word. Go figure.

0. The smoothest way: try using RCDefaultApp from Carl Lindberg...

1. Yet if you have the developper's tools, you could use the SetFileInfo shell command. And if you know how to write an Apple script you can easily do the same with a few lines of code.

2. Or if you know your way into the system, you might tweak that file:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
which defines all LSBundleSignatures. Beware: this will override the metadata you modified with SetFileInfo...

Does this help?
