I'm pretty sure that's all been moved to the Nautilus "File Properties" dialog. 1) Right-click on any file of the type you're interested in. 2) Select "Properties". The File Properties dialog will appear. 3) Use that dialog's "Open With" tab to add and remove applications for the filetype in question, and to select a default. It's a lot nicer than the old system, IMO :) In case that's not what you're after, how about: Applications > Desktop Preferences > Advanced > Preferred Applications -- Timothy Musson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
