I'm not real sure what you are asking, so this is a guess on my part.


Select any .dmg file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With panel use the dropdown menu to select DiskImageMounter then click on the Change All button. If DiskImageMounter is not displayed in the dropdown menu then select Other. Navigate in the Open dialog to the /System/Library/CoreServices/ folder where you will find the application. Select then click on the Open button in the dialog.
