Overdrive does not by default overwrite any of your file associations (that's not allowed by store policy). It does register itself as an option, and the next time you open a .acsm file you'll be prompted to choose what to do with it (assuming you have other apps installed that registered for .acsm, like ADE). But it requires user intervention for the app to take over the file extension. If that's not what you want, don't open the file with Overdrive. And if you do accidentally do that and want to change it, you can fix that in multiple ways, like right-clicking a .acsm file -> Open with -> Choose default program ... or using the "Change the file type associated with a file extension" settings configuration (search for "file as" on the Start page, click the Settings results, and it should be the first hit, or Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program).

The app is doing what it's supposed to do. The OS is doing what it's supposed to do. The only issue here is user error.
