According to Microsoft's guidelines, an ellipsis is only necessary when the command asks for confirmation or additional parameters. "If simply viewing the window is a common action, don't use an ellipsis." http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511502.aspx#ellipses

I see. Then the reason that "Fastest times" in the original minesweeper have an ellipsis is that the user there can choose between pressing OK or to clear all high scores.
