I used to want this but now I am convinced that C-x d and then emacs
screen navigation is faster. Once the directory buffer opens you can use <

semi-miraculous C-r and C-s. After you're on the right line a bare e will
open (visit) the file. I am curious to know what other useful
functionality might be obtained from using the w32 file selection window.
