Open with?

I remember there was a setting where you could tell globally what helper
program to use when you open a file (I.E. Midi file extension). I know you
can right click on a midi file and say 'open with' but I want to make a
setting that says globally open *.mid with a certain Midi player? I've
looked all over for the applet in the control panel and can't seem to find
it.
