You say "load a file", but it's unclear just what you mean by that.
If what you want to do is open a Mathematica notebook, then the
following will do it:
Button["Open notebook", NotebookOpen[SystemDialogInput["FileOpen"]]]
To begin in a particular directory, include the optional 2nd argument to
SystemDialogInput, for example:
Button["Open notebook",
NotebookOpen[SystemDialogInput["FileOpen", "E:\\temp\\"]]]
(You may need to adjust the form of that 2nd argument depending on your
operating system.)
