Force default folder in form file upload?

[AndyGroom]

I have a webform displayed in a WebBrowser control in a Visual Basic application to allow users to upload files to my webserver. Unusually for this type of thing, I know in advance the folder they need to browse to (I want them to upload a file which the VB application has generated) and I would like the Browse dialog box to default to that folder but it seems to default to whichever folder was last used by any application for File / Open.

I've tried using ChDir in VB to set the current folder but that doesn't work.

Is there any way I can persuade the Browse box to default to my desired folder?

IE has some very high walls to prevent malicious scripts that play with the DOM from doing anything that touches the local filesystem. As a result this isn't available to your VB6 code twiddling the DOM either.
