the open file dialog is called by executing
:browse {command}
where {command} is one of e, w, wall, wq, etc. If you have a look at
:help :browse
you will also find a section with help for a global variable called
browsefilter. You can also jump there directly with
:help browsefilter
Now that you know about it, you can check whether it is defined when you
edit C++ files and maybe where it has been defined. (For C++ it actually
has been set by the default C filetype plugin ($VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/c.vim)).
The help also tells you that your own local filetype plugin is a good
place to set or override the global variable with a local variable
b:browsefilter (note the leading "b:"). So, with
:let b:browsefilter = ''
in your local $HOME/vimfiles/ftplugin/cpp.vim you can disable this
behavior for C++ files. If you want to disable it for all file types,
you can try it by putting
autocmd FileType * let b:browsefilter = ''
in your .vimrc.
