[h-e-w] Traditional find-file vs. file open dialog?

[Adam Taylor]

Folks,

When I do C-x C-f, I get the traditional behavior, i.e. emacs prompts me
in the minibuffer to enter the name of the file I want to open.

However, when I do File > Open File... (i.e. use the menu bar), I get
the Windows-standard file open dialog.

Can anyone tell me how I can get C-x C-f to open the dialog?

I've done C-h k on the menu, and it claims that it invokes find-file,
but when I do M-x find-file, I get the traditional find-file behavior
(i.e. minibuffer-mediated).

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend.

Adam
