- CRConrad 5y agoDepends: do I check the "Set as default app to open Excel files?" check box during the install, or not?[1] But, anyway, I'm not quite sure how that disproves my point that in general, "applications own file(type)s" on Windows. Actually, I'd say the fact that you can set another app to take over ownership of some type only reinforces it. ___ [1]: OK, I'm actually not sure that's there any more. But many apps that are capable of taking over each other's file formats at least used to have those.
