You don't say on which operating systems the software runs. That said, I'd
probably use "browse button" or similar, and qualify this by describing the
position of the small box. For exampe, "click the browse button to the
right of the Name box." If nothing else fits, you could call it a "small
box", as in, "click the small box to the left of the Name box."
