I installed Calibre on a Windows 8.1 PC yesterday.
Today, I double clicked a TXT file, and Calibre OPENED!!

On checking, I see that it has taken over file association for essentially EVERY text-type document of any sort on the computer.
txt
html
doc
docx
odt
js
on and on.
It took over everything, and has taken me about an hour of re-associating things back to the correct program.

I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in this obnoxious behavior.
I truly want to use very bad words.
