In Word 2007 (and Wordpad, for that matter), the Open command followed
by clicking on the down arrow in File name will show a list of
historical files or programs recently opened or run , (e.g.* .exe,
*.htm, etc), whether or not they have ever been opened with a word
processor. I can see this for *.doc or *.rtf or *.txt files, but why
the others, and how do I get rid of them?

Thanks

Because in the File, Open dialog you have selected All Files *.* instead of
All Word Documents *.docx, *.docm...
