Overall, v6.20.1 is a big improvement with Windows 7. After the first time I do a "File/Open", the previously selected "Files of type" setting doesn't quite work. It shows any files with extensions starting with the selected filter: .h also shows .html etc. If I select a different "Files of type" and then switch back to my original selection, it works normally that one time.

Are you talking about "Files of type" selection or about file filter given in "File name" field?

If you enter filter *.h in File name field, it lists all files with extension that begins with h, such as .html.
This is normal Windows operation and it has nothing to do with Vedit. Try Notepad for example, it works the same way.

If you select one of the pre-defined "File of type" selections, such as "C Files (.c, .cpp, .h, .rc)", then the .html files are not listed (at least on XP). I don't know how this was made.

Thank you for the explanation.

I mean with pre-defined "File of type" selections selected with the down arrow. I'm using Windows 7, 64bit with vedit 6.20.1. If I start vedit and click "File/Open", then the predefined "File of type" *.c, *.h, *.cpp, I only see exact matches. If I open a file, and then do another "File/Open" it remembers the previous pre-defined "File of type" selections, but also shows *.html, *.chm etc. If I select pre-defined "File of type" All Files *.*, then pre-defined "File of type" *.c *.h, *.cpp, it once again displays only exact matches.
