How do you set the default file manager in kde?
I'd like to set dolphin as the default file manager in KDE, how would I go about doing that? I have an installed working copy of dolphin on my comp right now.

associate dolphin as default for directories in control center.
kde components -> file associations -> inode -> directory

actually i think konqueror is more powerfull in kde3. However, the dolphin version in kde4 trunk is shaping up nice and looks promising.

Thanks, but for some reason when I go in there and change it as a user, it doesn't save the setting, and it doesn't work. However, when I do the same thing as root it works, but of course, it only works for root then.

Dolphin is a little bit less cluttered, and seems to be faster too. Most of the features in konquerer I never use.

OK, so you're raping your system with root then?
May i ask you how many files in your home dir is owned by root?
ls -Rg ~ | grep root"Your beliefs can be like fences that surround you.

Too much for the console window to show, but thats because I have a directory in there where I compile things. I only went into root to try it and see if it worked, I never actually log in to root for anything else.
