Having to type .cdr on the file name to open files and text field on open screen wont auto select

I recently installed Corel 11 on a new computer and in the "open drawing" screen the "file name" text field isnt auto highlighting, i cant tab to it either, I have to click it with the mouse,  i also have to type the full name including file extension to get it to open the file. For example "200.cdr instead of just 200". Im tried notepad to see if it was like this on all applications and it isnt. just corel.
