Try doing File / OpenDirectory, then in the File Types combo below
select All Files, then Directories again. The Name selection box will
say "Current Directory", and you can now Open the current dir.

If you're curious, this is implemented in file_dialog_callback
(src/w32fns.c:5860).

I'm not yet sure whether the fact that "Current Directory" is not
initially shown is a bug or a limitation of the Windows dialog. Do you
now whether it also happens on XP?
