+==== Default Programs ====
+You can set the default programs used to open files by:
+  - Finding the name of the program's desktop file
+    * It should be in ''/usr/share/applications'' or ''~/.local/share/applications''
+  - Use ''xdg-mime'' to set the default, eg: ''xdg-mime default pcmanfm.desktop inode/directory''
+You can confirm with ''xdg-mime query default inode/directory''
+There are also GUI tools to do this, and if you use a //desktop environment// you probably have one already installed.
