I had been running Parrallells for Mac and I uninstalled it and it's still showing windows applications when I right click and go to "open with"... any ideas to remove this?

Run the command below in Terminal to rebuild the launch services database and it should fix that. This is the command for Mavericks, and I have not tested it in Yosemite yet... hopefully it does the trick.

Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
