I change file associations reasonably often, but never use System Settings, nor I did use Control Center in KDE 3.5. I usually right-click the file, then select "Open with -> Other", choose the application I want and check the "Remember application association for this file" checkbox. Or else I edit the file association in the file properties dialog before I open it.
