My answer is not exactly a microsoft one, so I don't know if it is appropriate.
You can set a visual filter -and an anti-visual filter- in xyplorer (wich runs on microsoft OS from 98 to 7).
It does the trick. U have to set this for each tab you open, but not when you restart the app.
I'm not an xyplorer advanced user, so it might be possible to configure this for all new tab. Or not.
Hope this helps.

I note that the OP says nothing about Word, so these web pages could be
being saved by any one of several means (including bespoke software).

Not sure what they are or why they are there, but the folders with the
"_files" extension really clutter things up and make it difficult to find the
files I am looking for. Any way to hide those, or some other method so that
I do not have to look at these?

They are the files associated with documents saved as web pages. Save your
web pages in a separate folder from your Word documents and avoid the
clutter.

Those folders are created when you save as a Web page a document containing
graphics. The graphics are saved separately in that folder.

Not really a Word thing (I am guessing it is an OS feature): one thing special
about these folders is that if you delete the htm file in Windows, the
folder gets automatically deleted as well. Any idea on how they do that? I am
guessing it must be some kind of linking as it would seem odd to me that the
simple delete command would investigate your files. So I am wondering if you
somehow know how Word does set up those links.

FWIW, there is a setting in Word 2003 and earlier at Tools | Options |
General | Web Options | Files to "Organize supporting files in a folder." I
imagine that clearing this check box would result in the files being stored
in the same folder with the Web page (which would eliminate the _files), but
it would certainly clutter up that folder! In any case, my guess is that
Word and Windows have some "secret handshake" by which the Web page file and
supporting folder are linked.

it is nothing really to do with Word - Windows has a feature that connects
these files and folders. I think it was originally meant to be more generic,
but only ever got implemented for web pages. .htm (or .html) files are
connected to similarly named _files folders by default, but this can be
switched off in the registry (...\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
NoFileFolderConnection). One point to watch is that it is
language-sensitive, so in Dutch, say, it would be a _bestanden folder.
The answer to the original question, of course, is that there is not really
much you can do except not save so many complete web pages, and use browser
bookmarks/favourites instead - that way you will not have any of the clutter.
