hi you can try this code.

openFD.InitialDirectory = "C:\"
openFD.Title = "Open a Text File"
openFD.Filter = "Text Files|*.txt"
openFD.ShowDialog()

There no excluding option in those filters. You might add code later not to process something if its file type ends with xxxxx (whatver you want to exclude).
