Have you (or some script) set a (global or buffer-local)
browsefilter variable?
:echo g:browsefilter
:echo b:browsefilter
(If both commands generate errors, then the answer is no.) If I read
:help browsefilter
correctly, then the simplest solution is to add
:let g:browsefilter = "All Files\t*.*\n"
to your vimrc file. A more complicated solution is to add something
like
:let b:browsefilter = "C files\t*.c;*.h;*.cpp;*.c++All Files\t*.*\n"
to an ftplugin for C files. Ask again if you need more details.

P.S. It seems that b:browsefilter *is* set in the default ftplugin (but
only on Windows systems). So see
:help ftplugin-overrule
