theres a better option for this under 2.7, instead of firing on every  
action-links filter, You can use the  plugin_action_links_{$plugin} filter:

add_action('plugin_action_links_' . plugin_basename(__FILE__),  
'filter_plugin_actions');
function filter_plugin_actions($links) {
     $settings_link = '<a  
href="options-general.php?page=myplugin">'.__('Settings').'</a>';
     array_unshift( $links, $settings_link ); // before other links
     return $links;
}
