Do you mean the way that (X)Emacs asks for the name of a file when
window-system is not nil?  Under MS-Windows, (X)Emacs uses the Windows
"Open File" interface now which is what most people expect.  My
preference would be to say that, whatever you do for this, it
shouldn't be a VM only thing.

On the other hand, if you mean a file browser a la Windows Explorer,
then I've always been partial to Dired...  ;-)
