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."

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.
