Shortcut files to .txt files? Or what kind of shortcut files do you see?

Please show the code you are using to filter files...no mind readers here.

CString filter=_T("Text Files(*.txt)|*.txt||");

	CFileDialog fileDlg(TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST|OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST,filter);


	if (fileDlg.DoModal () == IDCANCEL) 
	{
		return;
	}
	CString file_Path = fileDlg.GetPathName ();
	AfxMessageBox(file_Path);

i locate a folder by CFileDialog here text files are present and some shortcut of .docx and .xlsx are also presents to these are displayed.

Your code seems to work fine. I tested it on Win7 with VC++ 2010.

//	CString sFilter( _T("Text Files(*.txt)|*.txt|All Files(*.*)|*.*||" ) );
	CString sFilter( _T("Text Files(*.txt)|*.txt||" ) );

	static TCHAR szFilter[] = _T("Chart Files (*.xlc)|*.xlc|Worksheet Files (*.xls)|*.xls|Data Files (*.xlc;*.xls)|*.xlc; *.xls|All Files (*.*)|*.*||");


	CFileDialog fileDlg(TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST|OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST,sFilter);


	if (fileDlg.DoModal () == IDCANCEL) 
	{
		return;
	}
	CString file_Path = fileDlg.GetPathName ();

see the code works fine for me too on windows xp with vs 2005.

if you mentioning that folder shortcuts and folder are viewable while only .txt is selected then it cant be done as it by default windows style. *.txt will filter only the files. not folders.
