System Preferences - Default Apps

Today I wanna talk about an application that lives in my System Preferences panel of Mac OS X 10.4, I use it occasionally, but I think it's very useful.

RCDefaultApp is a free Mac OS X 10.2 or higher preference pane that allows a user to set the default application used for various URL schemes, file extensions, file types, MIME types, and Uniform Type Identifiers. MacOS X uses the extension and file type settings to choose the application when opening a file in Finder, while Safari and other applications use the URL and MIME type settings at other times for content not related to a file (such as an unknown URL protocol, or a media stream).

Mac OS X can be used to set the default application for file extensions, file types, etc but it's not easy to use.
