First of all your documents are not open source as you don't share it 
with the rest of the world.
Secondly the Filter Dialogue box appears only when one of your files is 
corrupted.
You have two options 1. Recover document 2. Cancel You have to select 
one of them.
Sometimes a document is beyond repair, you should go back to your backup 
files.

Are you double-clicking the file name to open it?

If yes, try opening the desired program first then use file > open within
the program to open the document.

If the above works then it provides a way to open documents and provides
some clues to troubleshoot the problem.
