When you use <INPUT TYPE=FILE> and open the FileOpen Dialoge Box through clicking Browse... how would you programatically set the default file type (eg. *.avi instead of All Documents)?

You can't - unfortunately this item is sooo restricted by security - it is useless for many more advanced applications.

This is purely so the client has full control over data sent to server from their machine.
