Nearly all Mac users at one point or other will have had to install StuffIt to unzip a legacy SIT file. Unfortunately, StuffIt also associates itself with unzipping Zip files even though OS X comes with its own built-in (and much faster) Archive Utility.

To set my associations back so that Zip files are handled by the Archive Utility I right-clicked (option clicked) a Zip file and selected Open With... -> Other followed by /System -> Library -> CoreServices -> BOMArchiveHelper.

Hi Aral,
Do you have the Unarchiver installed? It opens even SIT files.
You can grab it here: http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html
Cheers Ben
Yeah, The Unarchiver is all I use as well. Trash that Stuffit crap.
3rd recommendation for UnArchiver. Its awesome! It has problems with some RAR files every now and then, so I also have UnRARX on my system for those troublesome RAR files, but for everything else UnArchiver rocks.
