How to open file browser with default directory in Javascript?

I want to open the file browser in JavaScript and set the default directory for this file browser. For example, I would like to set the default directory to "C: \ My Documents".

How to set the default directory? It’s better to use <input type="file"/> , other controls are fine too.

This is not possible, as it is a security risk allowing the site code to set any value on the machine.

In addition, you can never be sure that a directory exists. What if I am on a Mac? My stuff is in ~/Pictures . What if I installed Windows on D:\ ?
