Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this, neither on Windows 7 nor on
XP.

Are you sure this is Emacs 24.3?  There was a problem with file
selector dialog, but it was solved before Emacs 24.3 was released.

If you indeed see this in Emacs 24.3, please show the exact steps to
reproduce this, and also see if the problem happens with any file in
any directory on any drive/volume, or just with some of them.
