revanth, welcome to TSDN!

I'm not sure what HTMLINPUTFILE is. Could you post some code? It may be that this is not a javascript problem.

Thanks for ur response.

<input " type="file" name="myFile">

this is an html control.its embedded with a textbox and a "Browse" button.
When i click the browse button,i could open from "Desktop".B ut,i want it to be open from a specific directory(like "c" or "d" drives).please let me know the solution.

input type="file" is read only in javascript, to prevent scripts from reading (and possibly posting) data from your hard drive...

Oh, right. You put all that together without spaces, so I thought is was some .NET control object or something. I've changed the thread title.
