Does any body know how to go about and change the default apps? For example, I'd like to have CuteTube as my default YouTube app.

Thanks!

was gonna start a new thread, but since my question fits the title, can i change the default file handlers on the N9?

Say I want to open an mp3 file, i want it to open it with Qasar player.

Thanks, where is this file located?
Where would most installed executables be located?

This doesn't apply in this case as the defaults.list files is the one to edit the mimetypes applications
