I know of three ways:

 . Type F10, which will activate the menu bar, then select the File
   menu and "Open File" item with arrow keys and RET.

 . Set the variable w32-pass-alt-to-system to a non-nil value, then
   pressing Alt will activate the menu; the rest is like in the
   previous method.

 . Cheat:

    (let (last-nonmenu-event)
      (call-interactively 'find-file))

Out of curiosity: why would you wish to open the file selector so
badly?
