[br]If you right click into the file list you will get a context menu.  There are a couple of entries here that will help.  First, do you have:

Open File in Solution dialog -> Right Click -> Include all files in solution directories (CTRL+D)

turned On of Off?  If this is turned On then you may want to try turning this Off.

The second option is:

Open File in Solution dialog -> Right Click -> Display edit control for persistent filter

here you can enter a filter for files to always exclude.  For example, here you might want to use the filter:

.o. .htm. .d. .bak

since separate filter terms are separated by a space.  The trailing dot is because dot is also used to mark "end of word", so you are not filtering out file extensions that just start with 'o' or 'd'.  If you are using the filter field I would recommend leaving it visible, just because if it excludes files you want to see occasionally you will be left wondering why they are missing.
