I use Windows 10 Professional - I wonder if that's a difference.

The reason I selected Sigil on an MP3's Open With list was that I was about to make my first EPUB 3.0 - and I thought... ah-ah, maybe I can start an EPUB 3.0 by getting Sigil to open an MP3 file. Just as I have started an EPUB 2.0 via the Open With Sigil option on HTML files.

Sigil is the only apparently 'spurious' application I've found that appears in any Open With lists, and I use Open With dozens of times a day on many different file types - I am fairly confident I would notice anything else 'out of order'. The Sigil entries were there in 0.9.4 not sure about earlier releases - could have been for longer. I ignored them because they didn't get in the way too much, and I assumed they had something to do with EPUB 3.0.

With calibre there were so many that they just had to go, and courtesy of Kovid they're gone.

When I have a moment I'll uninstall Sigil and remove all traces of it in the registry and elsewhere and then reinstall it.

@theducks - do you use Windows Home or Pro - I don't get any updates I don't know about, and none that Susan Bradley doesn't know about. Susan keeps a beady eye on MS and other Updates at Windows Secrets. I've read that Win 10 Home is a problem in this regard - but I've never seen or examined the logs first hand - just read the scuttlebutt in the Soc-Med echo chamber.
