If the man says it does not associate by default, then IT DOES NOT.

I have many systems of : XP, W7, Linux builds, and I have never encountered that behavior with an official (calibre-ebook.com) install on any version (.9 on)

Start Menu items: Yes
File associations need to be done manually for both the main program (that you show) and the book-viewer and book-editor.

By any chance do you have some sort of file browser 'helper tool' installed ?
