Mimes Type - All application

Hi,

I want to set the mimes types for all application and all user. By exemple, if one user under konqueror click on a .doc, I want staroffice to open it and not kword. I dont want each user go under settings, etc to change it, so where are the files to configure it?

thank you

Unless a user has an override KDE uses the global settings.

For a list of paths where KDE looks for MIME type associations check
#> kde-config --path mime

yeah but if I take in that directory the file pdf.desktop (exemple):

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=MimeType
MimeType=application/pdf
Icon=pdf
Patterns=*.pdf;*.PDF;
X-KDE-PatternsAccuracy=90
Comment=PDF Document
...... Comment in a lot of languages.....
X-KDE-AutoEmbed=true
[Property::X-KDE-NativeExtension]
Type=QString
Value=.pdf


Where I specify the default application for this kind of file(pdf)? There is nothing in the file for that, what I am missing?
thanks

In fact, I want to set the "Open-with settings" of konqueror and other apps like that :)
