@GUiHKX, that depends on the file manager you are using.
You have the following options:
– GNOME – nautilus-actions
– XFCE – Thunar (it’s built-in, go to “Edit” – “Configure custom actions”
– KDE – service menus (not very user-friendly)

Thank you!
In Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) and Linux Mint 10:
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
The same
Instead of:
~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
it’s:
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
Instead of:
~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list
it’s:
/etc/gnome/defaults.list
