OK. Go back into:
KDE Control Center 
KDE Components
File Associations

Look under "text" for example.
Click on "HTML" to see what apps, in what preference order, will open 
an HTML file. In my system, the first browser is "Konqueror Web 
Browser". Click on that, then click "Edit".

Now a popup window appears. Click on the "Application" tab. See what 
the Command is. 

Using this example, if this was the application giving you trouble and 
it works OK in a different User account, go through the same process 
in the account that works well, and compare the Commands. Do this for 
whatever files/devices you are having trouble opening.

Save any changes, and it might also help to do the following, which I 
recommended in another thread today:

In the KDE Control Center
Click on KDE Components
Click on Session Manager
Click the button that says "Start with an empty session"
Save your changes

Then log out and back in.

HTH,
Siri Amrit
