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?
