There's a little pop-menu below the list of files.

It allows you to choose which kind of files you want to open.
By default, it is set to "Python files", which greys out all
files, except those with a '.py' or '.pyw' extension.
Setting it to "Text files" should help, or else try "All files".

Hope this helps
