Good and fast work by all. But I still have my original question. Why
is the behavior different from Cx d which it lists as an equivalent? I
can see that having access to a Windows dialog box can be useful for
things like recently visited directories, so the ability to access the
Microsoft dialog boxes is nice. I had assumed that Visit New File...
gave the same result as C-x C-f, and Open File.., with no keyboard
equivalent went through the the Windows menuing system. It wasn't until
now that I found out they were the same. (I started in computing well
before terminals with displays and windowing systems were common, and I
have been using Emacs for over 30 years. So by the time I conclude I
want to open a file or directory, I'm typing its name in the
minibuffer. (Unless, apparently, I have a hot cup of tea in my left
hand. ;-)
