default program to open a file?

[Ant2ne]

How do I set the default program to open a file. ie, I want kmplayer to open all movie types, but mplayer opens if I click on the move file. Ive tried the "open with" and the check box to make it default, but it doesn't make it default.

# [Alt][F2] konqueror >> select file >> Edit > File Type
# [Alt][F2] kcontrol >> KDE Components > File Associations

Let me add: Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations.
