On a system with existing MS Office 2007, I have installed LibreOffice without associating it with Microsoft file formats. When I right-click on MS Office document in Windows Explorer, "Open With" submenu does not list LibreOffice. Furthermore, if I click "other program...", there is no LibreOffice neither in the list of recommended programs nor in other programs. Additionally, for Excel documents, even if I navigate to scalc.exe (and uncheck "Always use this program..."), LibreOffice will not be added to "Open With" submenu which is a different behaviour than just about any other application. I would expect LibreOffice to register itself as a recommended (but not default) editor of Microsoft document formats. Additionally, it should be possible to enable or disable default association in LibreOffice options (without reinstalling). Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.1.0.4 release
