there is no way to get around this. I had the same problem - it is a 
seruity feature of the input type=file html control that you are not 
allowed to set it's value.  What i did as workaround was
to make the input control as small as possible so you only see the browse 
button and then use a normal textbox along with it.  then using the 
onchange event of the input control i call some javascript which sets the 
value of the textbox to the value selected by the user from the input 
control.  this way you can set the value of the textbox without any 
problems on postbacks and things like that.  

if anyone has come up with a better solution i would really like to know 
about it.

hope that helps.
