I don't really care what you think. I am sitting here in front of the computer and I know what happened.
txt files before yesterday opened with Notepad Lite
doc files opened with Word.
I install Calibre, and as I said, later note that "document type" files are opening with it.
I look in Default Programs>"Associate a file...", and sort on the Current Default column. There I see a list of about 25-30 extensions now associated with Calibre.
I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THAT OTHER THAN INSTALL CALIBRE.

Your statement that "calibre does not associate itself as the default handler for *any* file extensions" is totally incorrect in my case.
I DID NOT DO IT, so either the install did, or somebody snuck into my house overnight and changed them one by one.

The only thing I did "different" during install was to disable adding itself to the path (another unnecessary thing to do). There ABSOLUTELY was no dialog about file associations during install.

Look at the picture...it shows PART (list too long for one screen) of the extensions Calibre has associated itself with AFTER I have changed the ones I can recognize back to the right program.
