Useless Apps appear in Google docs with Chrome when opening a txt file

If, like me, you use vim or some other text editor to sync text files with Google Docs, it is likely that you sometimes want to convert the file to a standard Google Doc.

In some cases, when you double click on the txt file, you are prompted with a long range of applications to "Open with." If you want this choice, that's fine. However, if you want to get rid of the list of local apps, the culprit is likely to be the Extension Application Launcher for Drive (by Google). To get rid of it, click on the Chrome menu (not the Google Docs menu) Windows > Extensions. There you have options to get rid of the extension or simply disable it until you may need it some other day.
