Well, thats the hard way to check mime types ;o)

You could also open System Settings, choose the Advanced tab, and then 
File Associations.
Unfold the inode node, and select the directory sub node.
On the right you can then see what programs are set up to handle 
directories.
The program at the top of the list is the one that is used when you 
click directory icons (folders) to open them. The other programs are 
the ones that are present in the directories' right click pop up 
menu, under the "Open with" sub menu.

You don't loose any files.
The folder view plasmoid is only a viewing window into whatever folder 
you set it up to show. Just like Dolphin's window.
I should have used the word "close" in stead of "remove". Sorry.

Best regards
