There's no easy way to get rid of that.
It looks like Windows adds it by default, and removing it isn't easy (not just in LabVIEW).
It has been asked before:

It's learn to live with it 😑, unless you're looking for a chalange.

I believe you should create your own file dialog.

I'm guessing it's part of the Windows API, as all file dialogs I know of have this.

Indeed.
Changing this might not be what the user wants, as it's standard to have this.
Also, removing *.* as pattern doesn't prohibit the user from opening any file. The files are not listed, but the user can still type any file name, and Windows will give a list of files with other extension and allow you to open it.
